New health technology platform offers Christmas deals on its telemedicine services.
When the COVID-19 pandemic started, there was a dramatic shift from in-person consultations to telemedicine services. Many hospitals started this kind of routine care services to reduce exposure of non-COVID patients.
In connection to this, Manny V. Pangilinan's Metro Pacific Investments group created mWell PH app for people's health and wellness needs. This health technology platform aims to deliver dependable telemedicine services and expert advice straight from reliable doctors and health resources with just a tap of a finger.
Aside from making the health and safety of their families a priority during this time of the COVID-19 pandemic, celebrity moms like Geneva Cruz, Sunshine Cruz, Empress Schuck, and Miriam Quiambao rely on this new health technology services not only for safety but also for convenience.
With this app, these celebrity parents can easily reach primary care and specialized doctors including pediatricians via its growing line-up of partner-doctors from the country's top hospitals such as Makati Medical Center, Cardinal Santos Medical Center, Asian Hospital and Medical Center, De Los Santos Medical Center, Manila Doctors Hospital and Marikina Valley Medical Center.
Empress Schuck says the app lessens her anxiety, “These days, hindi natin maiiwasan ang magka-anxiety lalo na sa mga moms na busy na sa work pero kailangan pa din mag attend ng needs ng kids and family. I'm glad there's already an app for online consultation with trusted doctors including pediatricians for our kids.”
Miriam Quiambao shares the same sentiments. “Nakaka-anxious magpunta sa hospitals. Add to that, the demands of caring for a newborn and a toddler at the same time. Good thing I have this app for doctor consultations and even wellness tips.”
On other hand, Geneva Cruz navigates the challenges of being a single mom with the help of the new app. She says, “Being a single working mom is extra challenging especially with the pandemic. That's why I make sure that I am healthy--physically, mentally, and emotionally--so I can take care of my baby girl so much better. I can avail of doctor consultations and wellness tips for my baby and me anytime through the app.”
For Sunshine Cruz, her discovery of the mWell PH app was such a blessing, “It's a relief! It's an all-in-one app where you can find everything from doctor consultations, healthy recipes, fitness programs and more! It's an app that moms can depend on.”
This holiday season, mWell PH introduces its latest treat called the Gift of mWellness via the subscription package with three doctor video consultations for only PhP249, that's PhP1,500 in savings. Moms can avail until December 31 with no booking fee. And if they wish to upgrade to 10 doctor video consultations, they can choose the P549 package and save as much as PhP5400 (until November 15 only), valid for 3 months.
Aside from telemedicine, the health and wellness app also offers e-pharmacy, health and wellness programs, e-commerce, among others, in an integrated, tech-based healthcare digital ecosystem.
