In a bid to relieve pressure on England’s medical health service NHS — the London and Berlin-based startup Medbelle is offering private kits at cost price – with the option for people to additionally “sponsor” tests for key workers and people in need. The startup also aims to increase the availability of Covid-19 testing and help people learn more about the disease.
Founded in 2016 by Daniel Kolb and Leander de Laporte, Medbelle is a digital healthcare provider offering an “end-to-end platform” for medical procedures, mostly in cosmetic and orthopaedic surgery. Amidst the COVID-19 concerns, the medtech startup has announced to be working towards supporting the UK healthcare system in the fight against COVID-19.
