"It’s a spam-free and secure environment to communicate with each other, provide referrals, share cases, call other doctors without saving numbers and have access to loads of most recent, speciality-wise developments taking place in the fields of medicine, surgery, nutrition and dentistry, and even provide a platform for collaborative learning.? Curofy has recently launched its job module which experienced a 20 per cent application rate of? medical jobs in its pilot phase," the statement claimed.
