[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Mesh Korea, operator of 'Boorung,' announced on the 28th that it has started real-time delivery of pharmaceuticals prescribed through Ondoctor's (CEO Son Mi-young) nighttime non-face-to-face medical consultations.


Mesh Korea delivers pharmaceuticals prescribed by Ondoctor through nighttime non-face-to-face consultations directly to patients via Boorung's logistics network, which includes more than 520 company-operated last-mile logistics hubs nationwide and over 110,000 delivery drivers.


Ondoctor not only provides temporarily permitted non-face-to-face general consultations due to COVID-19 but also offers specialized nighttime non-face-to-face consultations in pediatrics and obstetrics and gynecology through an exclusive hospital network in the metropolitan area. It also conducts day and night consultations for patients suffering from post-COVID symptoms and provides prescribed medicines through partnered nighttime pharmacies. Currently, it operates with over 70 partnered daytime hospitals, 9 partnered nighttime hospitals, and 5 partnered nighttime pharmacies capable of dispensing prescriptions, responding to non-face-to-face medical consultations.


Mesh Korea is working on integration so that when Ondoctor connects doctors and patients through its own platform and sends prescriptions to pharmacies after non-face-to-face consultations, the pharmacies can dispense the prescribed medicines and deliver them to patients.



Choi Byung-joon, head of Mesh Korea's domestic business division, said, "What Mesh Korea has pursued over the past 10 years is to positively transform the market and society through the connection of logistics innovation and services," adding, "The significance of the collaboration between the two companies lies in the creation of new business opportunities that did not exist before by utilizing Boorung's logistics infrastructure and IT systems."
