Karkinos Healthcare raises funds from Endiya Partners

Oncology focused, managed healthcare platform Karkinos Healthcare has raised an undisclosed amount of funding from Endiya Partners, one of India’s leading VC Funds in Technology, Healthcare and Lifesciences. The company is currently backed by Tata Group, Reliance Digital Health and Rakuten Medical, along with a number of eminent industrialists such as Ratan Tata and Venu Srinivasan. Karkinos Healthcare is pioneering the Distributed Cancer Care Network model in India, addressing clinical needs that will bring quality care closer to cancer patients. According to reports published by the World Health Organisation (WHO), one in every ten Indians is estimated to get cancer during their lifetime. Over 70 per cent of cancer cases in India are detected late, leading to poor health outcomes and survival rates. Founded by a highly experienced team, Karkinos Healthcare started its operations in Kerala, and is looking to expand to Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Karnataka and West Bengal. The company works with multiple healthcare institutions and professionals in the oncology ecosystem, successfully bringing cancer care closer to patients backed by a robust technology platform. It has also set up a Centre for Advanced Cancer Diagnostics in Kochi, to provide world-class diagnostic services, including molecular tests and immunohistochemistry tests, for cancer.
