During Chuseok Holidays, Dr. Now Operates 'Normally'... "Expanding Real-Time Medical Staff Consultations"

Medical portal platform DoctorNow announced on the 26th that it will expand its real-time medical consultation and nearby hospital search services in celebration of Chuseok.

Accordingly, DoctorNow will provide real-time medical consultations, hospital search and reservation, and disease search services even during the Chuseok holiday period. As the number of app users has increased by an average of 30% compared to the same period the previous week during every holiday season, DoctorNow plans to thoroughly monitor partner medical institutions and manage systems to minimize inconveniences experienced when using medical facilities.

Especially this year, with the 'golden holiday' extending from Chuseok through weekends, temporary holidays, and National Foundation Day (Gaecheonjeol), the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport predicts that the number of travelers during this period will reach 40.22 million. Accordingly, as medical institutions will have longer closures, DoctorNow intends to make every effort to fill the medical service gap.

Jang Ji-ho, CEO of DoctorNow, stated, "If you feel your physical condition is different from usual, you can search symptoms on the DoctorNow app and receive real-time consultations from medical staff immediately. If additional examinations are needed, you can search for nearby hospitals operating based on your current location. We will continue to strive to ensure that anyone can experience the medical services they want whenever they need them."
