Doctena and the Luxembourg Association of Physiotherapists (ALK) struck the deal at the beginning of the month, the two organisations said in a press release issued on 20 February.

The ALK has 700 members. Its chairman, Patrick Obertin, stated in the announcement that:

“Doctena will help young physiotherapists to build a patient base thanks to the visibility provided by the online booking platform”.

Luxembourg-based Doctena offers medical appointments with “more than 10,000 healthcare professionals” in six European countries, it said in the release. The firm’s CEO, Patrick Kersten, stated that:

“currently, one doctor in four in Luxembourg publishes their availability on the Doctena platform. We are now looking to extend this figure to all healthcare specialties and professions”.
