A DAY OF FREE WELLNESS FOR ALL
MPHTC’s National MWellness Day reaches thousands
The Philippines’ first nationwide online medical mission, National MWellness Day, took place on 4 and 5 September 2021. MPHTC provided free consultations with medical experts via the mWell app.
Obstetrician and Gynecologist, Dr. Melani Camarillo Espino volunteered her expertise for the excellent cause of granting free access to consultations nationwide, even in remote rural areas. She explained to the Manila Bulletin, “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 is smooth, plus I gained more patients through the app.”
AT A TIME OF HEIGHTENED ANXIETY Kara David, founder of Project Malasakit, who hosted a segment of the online activities added, “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.”
Through its wide range of partners, mWell delivers a seamless end-to-end customer experience, empowering Filipinos to take their health into their own hands and to gain access to professional healthcare anytime, anywhere. <<
