KonsultaMD, a 24/7 health hotline service of Global Telehealth,
Inc. (GTI), announced that it partnered with home care app AIDE to provide
people the convenience of acquiring medical care without leaving the comforts
of their own home.
AIDE is the first home care booking app in the Philippines
where users can choose the best, available healthcare professional based on
their needs with just a simple tap of a button on their smartphone or any
portable digital device. The app offers an easier way to access these services
without leaving their homes or offices.
Starting August 15, 2017 up to September 14, 2017, members of KonsultaMD will have the benefit of having a licensed and qualified medical professional who specializes in medical care, nursing care, physical therapy, diagnostics or even animal care, right at their doorstep. During the period, KonsultaMD members get to enjoy one (1) free trial of any AIDE service. They will also get a 10 percent discount on all AIDE services from August 15 onwards.
“We’ve already made it easy for Filipinos with medical needs
to get access to professional medical care over the phone, but we decided to
take it up a notch by partnering with AIDE. Now, they not only get to talk to
medical professionals over the phone but also get to see them personally, and
they don’t have to brave the horrendous traffic just to get to the clinic or
hospital. They can just stay put and let the doctors come to them,” explained
Maridol Ylanan, Chief Executive Officer of Global Telehealth, Inc. (GTI), an
affiliate of Globe Telecom.
Dr. Patrick Bugayong, Co-Founder and Managing Director of AIDE said:
"AIDE was created with the dream of providing medical care anytime,
anywhere for the Filipino people - and it is through this partnership with
KonsultaMD that we take another step closer to achieving this. As partners, we
will constantly learn, adapt, and improve as we tackle the various pain points
of our health care system together. We, at AIDE, are excited as we believe that
the phrase "medical care anytime, anywhere" has never been more
possible than it has been with AIDE and KonsultaMD.”
The partnership with AIDE is just the latest among many efforts of KonsultaMD to help address common concerns of millions of Filipinos with regard to their healthcare needs. Earlier, KonsultaMD joined hands with healthcare service providers such as FamilyDoc, a 3-in-1 facility with doctors on-site, a laboratory, and pharmacy; MedGrocer online pharmacy; Healthway Medical with its network of mall-based, one-stop-shop clinics; Lifeline, a private, membership-based rescue service; and QualiMed which runs hospitals and multi-specialty clinics.
