MANILA -- Metro Pacific Investments Corporation’s (MPIC) mWell drives digital healthcare in the country as it fully supported the government’s “GoDigitalPilipinas” (GDP) movement as the only healthcare app among the convener organizations and supporting companies in the GDP.
Chaye Cabal-Revilla, MPIC Chief Finance, Risk and Sustainability Officer and mWell CEO represented mWell in the GDP launch during the National Economic and Development Authority 2023-2028 Forum at the PICC convened by The Private Sector Advisory Council Digital Infrastructure (PSAC-DI).
“As the country’s healthcare mega app, mWell is honored to be part of GoDigital Pilipinas. We shall collaborate with GDP to increase awareness and widen access to digital healthcare, especially for those in far-flung areas. Our innovative digital solutions are designed to respond to our countrymen’s needs, ensuring good health for economic productivity and nation-building. We shall continue to bring healthcare closer to more Filipinos here and abroad through a fully integrated, sustainable and future-proof digital platform,” Cabal-Revilla said.
Since its launch, mWell has been harnessing the power of technology to provide access to quality digital healthcare in a country with an average 3.7 doctors per 10,000 population-- way below the World Health Organization-prescribed ratio of 10 per 10,000. It helps address the shortage of healthcare facilities and personnel in rural areas. Underprivileged sectors, including Indigenous Peoples (IP) in remote, mountainous areas who need to travel for a day to see a doctor are now able to consult using the mWell app.
"Working together, the public and private sectors will ensure that every Filipino has the tools and skills to thrive in our revitalized society,” Henry Aguda, PSAC Digital Infrastructure Sector Lead and Union Digital President and Chief Executive Officer said.
