SINGAPORE -- Indonesia's largest telemedicine platform, Halodoc, has raised $65 million from investors in Singapore, South Korea and China, reflecting the burgeoning health care needs of Southeast Asia's most populous country.

Halodoc, which counts Indonesian unicorn Go-Jek among its existing investors, said on Monday it had received new funding from UOB Venture Management and Singtel Innov8, venture funds affiliated with Singapore's United Overseas Bank and Singapore Telecommunications, among other investors.
