Gurugram-based startup Vaidam Health has announced the acquisition of CancerRounds, an oncology-focused healthcare platform that supports cancer patients in connecting with doctors, hospitals and treatment options.

Through this acquisition, Vaidam Health aims to further strengthen its oncology-focused patient navigation capabilities and enhance support for patients seeking comprehensive and coordinated cancer care solutions across borders.

CancerRounds is a platform for assisting both domestic and international cancer patients by having tie-ups with leading cancer centers and doctors. 

For international patients, cancer care can be particularly difficult to navigate. Treatment often involves multiple medical opinions, clarity on available therapies, quick decision-making, access to the right specialist, financial planning, medical documentation, visas, travel and accommodation. These challenges become more urgent in advanced-stage cases, where delays or fragmented information can affect the overall treatment journey.

The acquisition will enable the integration of CancerRounds’ oncology care navigation experience with Vaidam Health’s international patient services. The combined work will focus on doctor discovery, treatment opinion coordination, hospital shortlisting, documentation assistance, travel coordination and post-treatment follow-up for patients seeking cancer treatment outside their home country.

Last year, Vaidam Health acquired MediJourney, a healthcare facilitation technology platform incubated by Ferns N Petals, to strengthen its digital infrastructure, AI-based communication processes and multilingual patient onboarding capabilities.
