Growth trajectory
"This milestone isn't just about a number - it's about impact. Behind every booking is a patient getting the care they need, a practice supporting its community, and a moment where healthcare becomes simpler and more connected. That's at least 100 million times we've helped someone get better, and that's something we're incredibly proud of," said Dan Stinton, Chief Executive Officer, Healthengine.
