Air Doctor is an Israeli startup that combines medical care and travel, ensuring that travelers can find the right doctor wherever they might be in the world. The firm raised $20 million in a series B funding round led by aMoon. The investment is set to fuel the company’s ongoing expansion in Asia, further solidifying its position as a global market leader in travel health.
Air Doctor connects travelers to a global network of over 20,000 multilingual doctors and specialists and operates in 84 countries. Its user-friendly app and cutting-edge algorithms significantly reduce the time required to receive high-quality medical care abroad, while also delivering more than 50% savings on outpatient claims and 60% savings for medical assistance providers, all while reducing overall handling and processing time by 75%.
Think about that for just a second. How many times have you been abroad and your health insurance did not cover your medical expenses while outside of your country of residence. Or maybe it did provide coverage, or you had some sort of travelers’ insurance, but no idea how to find the right doctor to fit your needs as a patient.

Let’s face it if you are an American traveling in Poland or China or a Canadian in Egypt or even Israel, what do you do when you need a doctor? Local doctors may be employed by the government healthcare system in places with socialized healthcare. And which doctors will your insurance pay for, or which ones will take your insurance so you do not need to pay in advance and get reimbursed later – much later in most cases when it comes to insurance.
And then there is the whole problem with finding a doctor who knows what you need when you have some sort of special needs. Not every doctor in the world knows how to treat every illness and the right medications may also be hard to find. This is where Air Doctors steps in.
Launched in Israel in 2018, Air Doctor connects travelers seeking medical attention with local doctors whilst abroad through their intuitive mobile and desktop app. With a global network of over 20,000 medical professionals across 2,000 cities in 74 countries, Air Doctor provides travelers with peace of mind and aims to make healthcare accessible to everyone, everywhere.
“The enjoyment of traveling abroad should not be affected by lack of appropriate local healthcare options and a lengthy and costly insurance claim process. Air Doctor ensures healthcare is easy to access for travelers, while reducing exorbitant medical bills usually footed by insurers. We are excited to have the backing of investors who share our vision for the future,” said Jenny Cohen Derfler, CEO and Founder of Air Doctor. “Diversity is in our DNA. Our success is driven by our founding and executive team spanning eight countries, representing a wide range of ethnicities. With this funding, our innovative team and our fully digital solution, Air Doctor is primed to become the standard for travelers’ and expats’ health needs worldwide.”
