DHAKA, Bangladesh, April 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Milvik, the leading digital healthcare solutions provider in Bangladesh, has launched the Milvik Health+ App to enhance accessibility to high-quality healthcare while allowing customers to enjoy more benefits from their Milvik health subscriptions through the Health Wallet feature.
The Milvik Health+ App is the first-of-its kind that combines payment tools and e-commerce for healthcare. Customers can

Health Points collected with every subscription payment made can be used for redemption of healthcare products such as medicine, medical equipment, health and fitness wearables, oral and eye care products, and nutritional items. Thus, lowering healthcare costs for consumers.
“With the Milvik Health Wallet, we will be able to provide a wider spectrum of healthcare benefits to our customers and make healthcare more accessible.

Providing more insight on the Milvik Health Wallet, Reynold D’Silva, Global Chief Growth Officer and Managing Director (Asia) of Milvik Bima, shared, “This is one of our most promising initiatives in bringing fintech innovation into the field of digital health which can narrow the heathcare access gap.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
