NEW DELHI: Healthians, a health-tech startup offering at-home diagnostic service, on Tuesday announced the launch of services in an additional 100 cities, marking its presence in over 200 cities. The move will help generate over 1,500 jobs, especially in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana, the startup said.

New hires will include pathologists, phlebotomists, runners, and lab technicians who will shoulder the responsibility of Healthians' aim to make at-home diagnostics accessible to the entire nation by 2022.

"The second wave has brought to light the importance of diagnostics at home, and we have received exponential demand across India. We have developed a robust tech enabled ecosystem for home collection, testing and reporting over the last 7 years and now we are geared up to launch our “At Home” diagnostics model in more than 100 cities soon," said Deepak Sahni, CEO and Founder, Healthians.

"We will make health testing at home accessible for over 500 million Indians and will have the largest network in the world,” said Sahni.
