Dr. Now Simultaneously Runs Medical Institution Search Service and Non-face-to-face Consultation

Interest is focusing on ways to check information about hospitals or pharmacies open during this year's Lunar New Year holiday. During the long holiday period, if someone falls ill away from their residence, it can be confusing not to know the nearest hospital or pharmacy information, and even if they find a hospital, patients may have to wait a long time due to crowding.

Bibros, which operates the mobile medical appointment service 'Ddokdak,' offers a 'Find Open Hospitals Service.' You can check information on about 3,600 hospitals operating during the Lunar New Year holiday on the main page of the Ddokdak app, and the hospitals are automatically sorted by proximity to your location.

You can also find open hospitals and make medical appointments. When you urgently need to visit a hospital during the holiday, you can enter desired keywords in the search bar to check hospitals currently operating. Especially during holidays, the number of hospitals available for treatment is fewer than usual, so there is a high possibility of patients crowding at each hospital. With Ddokdak, after mobile medical appointment registration, you just visit without waiting. ▲Medical appointment and registration ▲Pre-consultation questionnaire ▲Medical fee payment ▲Issuance of documents for actual expense insurance claims? all hospital visit processes except for the medical treatment itself can be handled via mobile.

If you only want to visit a pharmacy, you can also check information through the search. By selecting 'Find Nearby Pharmacies' on the app's main page, you can see nearby pharmacies, pharmacies open year-round, and pharmacies operating at night.

DoctorNow has also prepared a feature on the app's main page to search for hospitals and pharmacies operating during the Lunar New Year holiday. Using public information provided by the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service, it guides medical institutions operating in real-time near the user's location.

The representative services, including non-face-to-face medical consultations and same-day prescription drug delivery, are also operating normally. This enhances convenience for those who find it difficult to locate medical institutions during the holiday period and further improves access to medical services.

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 holiday periods when medical gaps are expected, and help with COVID-19 self-treatment. Along with this, we will add services to quickly search for available medical institutions to help the public have a healthier and safer holiday by strengthening medical infrastructure."
