Singapore-based HealthTech startup mClinica has raised $6.3 million in Series A funding to expand its operations globally. mClinica’s mobile technology connects drug companies, their distributors, pharmacies, and patients on a common platform. By unifying them, the company’s network collects comprehensive data that allows for the deployment of programs to improve patients’ health outcomes and access to affordable medicine. The company was founded by Farouk Meralli, a Harvard graduate with years of experience working for multinationals Roche, Johnson & Johnson, and Pfizer under his belt.
