Algerian entrepreneur Mehdi L. Sariak is leveraging technology to improve access to healthcare in Algeria by simplifying how patients book medical appointments.

Mehdi L. Sariak founded Docteur 360 in 2022 as an online platform that allows patients to quickly find a doctor and book appointments directly. He positioned the platform as a health service with a strong human dimension that combines medical culture with personalized support. The company aims to modernize the patient journey and make access to care more fluid, faster and more equitable by removing common booking obstacles.

The platform allows each patient to search for a doctor, compare available profiles and select the specialist who best fits their needs. Direct access to practitioners’ profiles strengthens transparency and builds trust at the time of booking. Docteur 360 focuses on simplifying the patient pathway and reducing waiting times for appointments.

The company offers a broad range of services designed for both patients and healthcare professionals. The platform provides a nationwide directory of practitioners across Algeria, automates recurring tasks such as appointment management, reminders and notifications, and simplifies follow-up from booking to consultation. These features reduce delays and limit missed appointments.

Sariak holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration and management obtained in 2006 from Collège de Sherbrooke. He also earned a master’s degree in banking, financial, corporate and securities law in 2009 from IAE Paris.

He began his professional career in 2006 at Société Générale Algérie, where he successively served as credit analyst, senior banker, branch manager in Algiers and deputy director in charge of large corporates. Between 2016 and 2020, he chaired Oxonto, a French company, now closed, that specialized in wholesale trade of computers, IT equipment and software.

Sariak is positioning Docteur 360 as part of Algeria’s broader digital transformation in healthcare, where entrepreneurs are using technology to address structural inefficiencies in patient access and care coordination.
