Restructuring and self-sustainability goals prompt layoffs, impacting 45 employees.
Doctor Anywhere, a prominent telehealth platform based in Singapore, has laid off 8.1% of its workforce across the region. This decision, announced by Lim Wai Mun, the company’s founder and CEO, was revealed through an internal email. The layoffs will impact 45 employees in roles considered redundant, following a restructuring of the company’s operations and tech team.
Focus on Self-Sustainability
This move comes as Doctor Anywhere seeks to become more self-sustainable, according to its CEO. The company aims to streamline its operations to remain competitive and efficient in an increasingly challenging market. Despite the layoffs, the restructuring will not affect any of the company’s medical doctors or other healthcare professionals, ensuring that its core telehealth services remain unaffected.
Doctor Anywhere remains one of Singapore’s largest telehealth platforms, serving over one million users annually.
