DoctorNow stated that it plans to recruit pharmacies that will operate from midnight to morning to create an environment where pharmacists can be met at any time. Participating pharmacies will receive support funds of up to 10 million KRW to cover costs necessary for operating pharmacies late into the night, including hiring pharmacists for night shifts and various operating expenses.

The company explained that pharmacies operating during late-night hours will directly dispense medication and provide consultations to visiting patients, while simultaneously operating prescription drug delivery services through telemedicine.

Im Kyungho, Vice President of DoctorNow, said, "We aim to support the public late-night pharmacy policy of health authorities to fulfill the role of telemedicine in improving medical accessibility. Through close collaboration with local pharmacists, we will utilize all infrastructure to build a medical service where anyone can meet professional medical staff whenever they are in need."

DoctorNow launched its mobile platform in November 2020 and operates telemedicine and prescription drug delivery services. As of the end of last year, it has 1.7 million members, 4.3 million cumulative downloads, and partnerships with over 3,000 hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies nationwide.
