Curofy is derived from the word "Cure". It means Curing Together

The main purpose of Curofy is to create a platform where doctors from all over the country can discuss cases, read the latest medical news and also apply for jobs.

The 3 major benefits that a doctor will have are: -

1. News : Doctors will have access to the best medical news according to their interests.
2. Case Discussions : It is a platform where the doctors can discuss different cases with doctors from across the country.
3. Finding Jobs : Doctors can look and apply for jobs with Curofy.
