The
COVID-19 pandemic has brought on the reemergence of digital healthcare where patients and doctors communicate and hold remote medical consultations by
telephone or by video link.
To
foster better health outcomes, AXA is offering free teleconsultation to
approximately 6.5 million people in Asia, including under-served patients in
remote, rural areas with limited health care access.
In
the Philippines, AXA, one of the country's leading insurers, is providing its customers easy and convenient access to health
care services amid the crisis by offering medical teleconsultation service through one of its health partners MyPocketDoctor, the first telemedicine app in the country
that allows people to consult with a medical doctor from the safety of their
own homes.
"To give our
policyholders access to quality healthcare while in quarantine, we are offering
them this teleconsultation service to make sure they still get the care that they need
without exposing themselves to other health risks," said AXA Philippines
president and CEO Rahul Hora.
Providing
24/7 access to medical consultations, MyPocketDoctor is accessible anytime, anywhere as long as you
have a smartphone. Simply
download the MyPocketDoctor app from the Google Play or App Store only and
register using your e-mail address and mobile number. Once registration is
complete, you can have your virtual medical consultation by a simple tap of a
button.
Teleconsultation via MyPocketDoctor is
available as free service to
policyholders of AXA health plans
(Health Max, Health Start, and Global Health Access). From now until
May 15, 2020, AXA is also
giving a free one-time access to teleconsultation to its life insurance (non-health)
policyholders and select general insurance customers.
