In a landmark achievement for its global ambitions, WEBDOC — Pakistan’s leading healthtech and insurtech innovator — proudly announces it has been granted a commercial license by the Government of Dubai, authorized by the Dubai Health Authority, as of May 2025. This milestone marks WEBDOC’s official entry into one of the world’s most vibrant and fast-growing contemporary healthtech markets.
Since its inception in 2017, WEBDOC has provided transparent, accessible, and affordable insurance and advisory services across health, legal, crop, and livestock sectors. With over 65 million users, WEBDOC has built strategic partnerships with all major telecom operators (Ufone, Zong, Jazz, Telenor), integrated its services with easypaisa, JazzCash, and key microfinance banks, and pioneered customized micro-insurance products—cementing its role as a key player in Pakistan’s evolving fintech and digital healthcare landscape. Under CEO Asim Alam’s leadership, WEBDOC expanded regionally through a strategic partnership with Etisalat Afghanistan in 2024 and is now preparing to enter Dubai’s healthtech market.
Reflecting on this significant achievement, WEBDOC’s CEO Asim Alam stated,
“When I founded WEBDOC nearly a decade ago, our business model was always deeply rooted in a people-first approach. Affordability and accessibility have remained at the core of everything we do. Securing the commercial license from the Dubai Health Authority is more than a regulatory milestone — it’s a testament to our ongoing commitment to deliver AI-driven, innovative healthcare solutions directly into the hands of everyday people, both in Pakistan and now in Dubai.
Dubai marks an important chapter in our journey — one that opens doors to serving wider populations across the region and beyond.”
With all eyes set to launching operations in Dubai soon, the CEO and team at WEBDOC are ready to bring their hallmark quality and commitment to the international stage. This expansion will enhance telehealth for existing customers in Pakistan by adding access to expert international doctors based in Dubai—delivering high-quality, affordable healthcare just a click away. It will also provide the underserved South Asian diaspora in Dubai with state-of-the-art healthtech services in their native languages, including Urdu, Pashto, and Hindi, reflecting WEBDOC’s commitment to inclusive and accessible healthcare for all.
Underscoring the strategic importance of this development, WEBDOC’s COO Furqan Rasheedd remarked,
“Securing the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) license marks a pivotal step in expanding WEBDOC’s services to meet the healthcare needs of a diverse expatriate population. By integrating multi-language support—including Urdu, Hindi, Pashto, and Dari—into our platform, we aim to break communication barriers and offer personalized, culturally-relevant care to millions of South Asian and Afghan expats living in the UAE. Additionally, our customers in Pakistan will now have access to top-tier medical advice from experienced foreign doctors based in Dubai, bridging the gap between local and international healthcare expertise.”
