Lung Center COVID Ask Force: Free online consultation for Filipinos via Facebook Messenger

By Racquel Quieta

Filipinos can now consult a doctor for free without leaving the comfort of their own homes, especially now that Luzon is under enhanced community quarantine. Last March 14, Lung Center of the Philippines has launched Lung Center COVID Ask Force, a free online consultation for Filipinos on Facebook Messenger.

The doctors and consultants of the Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health initiated the said project. It aims to answer queries from people who have concerns about the Coronavirus Disease or COVID-19.

This online initiative lessens unnecessary trips to the hospital and consequently reduces the risk of people getting infected with COVID-19.

In a recent Facebook post, the Lung Center COVID Ask Force had also invited physicians to take part in the said project, as they need more volunteer doctors to give free online consultations.

So, whether you're looking to have a free online consultation, or you're a doctor who wants to volunteer, head out to Lung Center COVID Ask Force's official Facebook page and send them a message via Messenger.
