[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] Remote medical platform DoctorNow announced on the 27th that it will operate non-face-to-face medical consultations and prescription drug delivery services normally during the Lunar New Year holiday period, and provide a hospital and pharmacy search service operating during the holiday.
DoctorNow has prepared a feature on the app's main page that allows users to search for hospitals and pharmacies operating during the Lunar New Year holiday, and plans to guide nearby medical institutions that are open in real time based on the user's location by utilizing public information provided by the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service.
In addition, the representative services of non-face-to-face medical consultations and same-day prescription drug delivery will also operate normally. The purpose is to increase convenience and strengthen access to medical services for those who find it difficult to visit medical institutions during the holiday period.
Jang Ji-ho, CEO of DoctorNow, said, "DoctorNow will provide the benefits of non-face-to-face medical consultations as much as possible even during holidays when medical gaps are expected, and help with COVID-19 self-treatment. We will add services to quickly search for accessible medical institutions so that the public can have a healthier and safer holiday, and strive to build medical infrastructure."
