Accessible healthcare is something that we need especially there’s a global pandemic going on. It’s a bit challenging right now to go to hospitals and clinics to seek medical attention and consultation for the fear of getting exposed to the deadly virus. It’s nice to know that there are companies that develop a digital health care ecosystem like Metro Pacific Health Tech Corporation (MPHTC) and launched a very useful app, mWell, to cate Filipino’s holistic well-being, by providing professional consultations, wellness programs, products and delivery services.
Headed by MPIC Chairman, Manny V. Pangilinan is truly confident and excited with MPIC group’s newest foray in digital health care, “Through a collaboration with trusted health experts, mWell will develop an ecosystem to bring integrated digital health care closer to every Filipino, even beyond the pandemic. mWell will empower every Filipino to be in control of their health with just one app.”

We invite doctors and health practitioners to digitize their practice, partner with us and be part of mWell’s mission.

Doctors will be given a quick and easy training to be able to access the mWell suite of services and can immediately digitize their practice, reaching more patients nationwide. “Through telemedicine, accessible healthcare can be promoted and the anxiety of going outside would be reduced, not only for us doctors, but for patients as well,” shares Dr. Lovely Garcia.
