Telemedicine eases moms’ burden
Mothers are finding it a challenge to balance work and household demands with health and safety protocols these days. For them, a top health concern is the possibility of someone in the family getting sick and needing immediate doctor advice — but going to the clinic or hospital poses a big health risk in itself.
To help working moms, KonsultaMD partnered with Shopee to provide immediate, 24/7 access to licensed doctors. KonsultaMD and Shopee also launched Shopee MomDays,a show that will spread awareness about telemedicine.
The show, hosted by Dr. Alyxandra Kim Sangel, MD, was live-streamed on the Shopee app on 18 January, 3 to 4 p.m. It will be held every Monday at the same time. Viewers will learn how to do check-ups via telemedicine. The show aims to promote telemedicine as the next best thing to face-to-face consultations since patients can enjoy easy access to doctors with just a phone call.
“KonsultaMD is excited to partner with Shopee for MomDays. Moms want the option of consulting health professionals without having to leave the safety of their homes, and KonsultaMD conveniently provides 24/7 access to doctors through video or voice calls. There’s no need to make an appointment. Just call the hotline, and a doctor will answer. Best of all, it’s unlimited. Consult as often as you want,” Cholo Tagaysay, chief operating officer of KonsultaMD said.
