Goodoc provides 'English PCR Negative Certificate' test information by hospital and clinic... "First implementation in Korea"

[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] Goodoc, the number one mobile healthcare platform company in South Korea, announced on the 8th that it will provide hospital and clinic information for issuing the PCR test 'English Negative Confirmation Certificate,' one of the essential documents for overseas travel, for the first time in the country. The strategy is to diversify services targeting user needs with the goal of becoming a digital healthcare 'super app.'

Goodoc announced on the same day that it has launched a service providing information on hospitals and clinics where English negative confirmation certificates can be issued after PCR testing. This information can be checked by clicking the PCR test label at the top of the hospital/pharmacy tab within the Goodoc platform.

This service, implemented for the first time in South Korea, provides hospital location information where PCR tests and English negative confirmation certificates can be issued, centered around the user's location on the Goodoc platform. The service also provides the testing fees and certificate issuance costs for each hospital and clinic.

Im Jinseok, CEO of Goodoc, said, "As the return to daily life approaches rapidly, we judged that user demand for hospital and clinic information related to the 'English PCR Negative Confirmation Certificate' is urgent in line with the rapidly increasing demand for overseas travel. We plan to focus on providing accurate information services to minimize confusion from the user's perspective regarding the individually set costs, test availability, and confirmation of English certificate issuance for each hospital and clinic."

Recently, as expectations for a phased return to normalcy regarding COVID-19 are becoming a reality, applications for new passport reissuance for overseas travel are reported to have surged more than threefold compared to before. According to Incheon International Airport Corporation, the number of passengers using Incheon Airport from April 1 to 3, the first weekend of this month, was 61,214 (total departures and arrivals), a 41% increase compared to 43,439 passengers during the same period last month (March 4-6). The daily average number of passengers exceeded 20,000 for the first time in 2 years and 1 month since March 2020, when passenger numbers sharply declined due to the COVID-19 crisis.
