OVP’s Bayanihan E-Konsulta resumes service

The Office of the Vice President’s (OVP) free teleconsultation service for outpatient needs in the National Capital Region has resumed after a brief pause.

In a statement, Vice President Leni Robredo said that the “Bayanihan E-Konsulta” Facebook page will accept consultation requests from Monday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Bayanihan E-Konsulta was launched on April 7.

It temporarily halted operations on Monday to integrate external volunteers and fix technical issues and backlogs.
