Brazilian low-cost healthcare provider, dr.consulta, offers an alternative to the broken health system in Brazil.

It now has more than 2,000 doctors and has served over 1 million patients in a country of 209 million residents. In São Paulo alone, the company has 44 medical centers. This growth has attracted the attention of venture capitals, which have invested $100 million in the business since its inception.
