MINERVA BC NEWMAN

CEBU CITY—mWell, the country’s first fully integrated health and wellness mobile app calls on Filipinos to join the “National mWellness Day” on August 28- 29, 2021, the first nationwide medical mission in the Philippines where people have the chance to get much-needed access to health professionals from the safety and comfort of their own homes.

On this online event, all mWell app users and patients can avail of free online and teleconsultations from a roster of primary care and specialty doctors nationwide.  Booking fees and doctor fees are waived for this special event, according to mWell media release Saturday.

Metro Pacific Health Tech (MPHT) said that this is the company’s radical move to provide healthcare access to millions of Filipinos especially with heightened restrictions throughout the country due to the spike of COVID-19 cases brought about by the Delta variant.

In this first telehealth consultation, patients anywhere in the Philippines—Luzon’s outlying regions Ilocos, Cordillera Administrative Region, or Cagayan Valley, as well as distant and hard to reach islands in the Visayas, and Mindanao’s southernmost Soccsksargen will have quality free doctor consultations.

Kara David, healthcare advocate and founder of Project Malasakit, will be hosting the FB Live discussion about “National mWellness Day” on August 28 at 5PM on the mWell FB page.  She’ll be talking with volunteer doctors, patients and special guests on how mWell brings healthcare closer to Filipinos.

Dr. Angela Fernando-Villasenor, Pediatrician volunteers for the “National mWellness Day” said this event is to help our fellow Filipinos.  “I will also, in a little way, be helping my co-front liners because there will at least be one patient kept away from the hospital. I would like to invite my fellow doctors to join me in giving free consultation on August 28-29 via the mWell PH app.”

Doctors and clinics all over the country are welcome to be part of the “National mWellness Day” to reach more patients nationwide and provide them with accessible, responsive and convenient medical care even beyond the pandemic, Villasenor added.
