Filipinos no
longer need to bear the burden of outdated medical care. The whole country was
given respite from the worries of getting quality medical care with National mWellness Day by mWell,
the country’s only fully integrated health and wellness mobile app.
Kara David,
founder of Project Malasakit, hosted the online event in the National
mWellness Day culminating activity states, “As caretakers, guardians, or as a
parent, the anxiety and challenges of getting quality medical care is
heightened especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The first ever virtual
medical mission by mWell PH brings health and wellness closer to people. Nakakalungkot, subalit totoong may kakulangan sa
healthcare para tugunan ang pangangailangan ng ating mga kababayan.” (“It’s disheartening to note that there is a lack of quality healthcare needed by Filipinos.”)
On September
4 and 5, 2021, the first nationwide online medical mission in the Philippines
took place via the mWell app by Metro Pacific Health Tech Corporation (MPHTC), which provided free
consultations with primary care and specialized doctors.
Despite
hectic schedules in the medical field at this time of crisis, a number of
doctors willingly gave their time and expertise to a bigger mission, and this
is giving the gift of wellness to Filipinos. With the medical community, mWell
is transforming the country’s digital health landscape by providing
professional consultations, medical diagnosis, care and treatment plans.
A volunteer
obstetrician and gynecologist, Dr. Melani Camarillo Espino explained how she
adjusted to the pandemic by transitioning from limiting her clinic calls to
telemedicine so that she can be contacted anytime, anywhere. Using the mWell
platform, her initial apprehension was cleared because she discovered how
user-friendly it is and technical support was prompt. She recommended it to her
patients.
“Using mWell
is just like making a private house call with my patients from the comforts of
their homes. The flow of my virtual consultations are smooth, plus I gained
more patients through the app.” said Dr. Espino. Being one of the volunteers
for National Wellness Day, she wants to reach out to more patients even in
remote areas who are afraid to go out, and provide quality and accessible
health care via the use of mWell app.
Building
momentum to accelerate positive change in healthcare, mWell now features 24/7 doctor on-call
services. Filipinos can consult with a doctor anytime through the
mWell app with online teleconsultations from a roster of general practitioners
and specialty doctors nationwide. Get much-needed access to health
professionals from the safety and comfort of home.
