MediCard's My Pocket Doctor

Tuesday, March 15, 2016

     Hello, dearies! I guess some of my long-time readers knew that I have a dialysis patient father. Because of his condition, we are required to visit his doctor for monthly checkups. His doctor is, in my opinion, one of the best doctors in that hospital that we are frequent to. We always experience long queue in her clinic that's why there were times that we need to come back the next day after waiting for more than three hours. 

      If my father is not feeling well and needs only an immediate relief, going to the hospital can be a waste of time because of that scenario. Well, I think there's an answer to our dilemma with the launch of MediCard Philippines' My Pocket Doctor. More details about the latest kind of medical consultation below.

MediCard's My Pocket Doctor
     MediCard, a leading health maintenance organization (HMO) provider, gives a time-saving and convenient option to get medical consultations anytime, anywhere with the My Pocket Doctor.

     Dr. Nicky Montoya, president of MediCard Philippines, says, My Pocket Doctor is definitely a game changer especially in the medical field. It is also our way of using modernized technology to make medical consultations handy for everyone. With less waiting time, patients can now get in touch easily with a medical doctor and get consultations instantly, at the comfort of their homes or offices.”
