Have a doctor available via phone or at your doorstep with KonsultaMD, AIDE partnership

KonsultaMD, a 24/7 health hotline service of Global Telehealth, Inc. (GTI), announced today that it partnered with home care app AIDE to provide people the convenience of acquiring medical care without leaving the comforts of their own home.

AIDE is the first home care booking app in the Philippines where users can choose the best, available health care professional based on their needs with just a simple tap of a button on their smartphone or any portable digital device. The app offers an easier way to access these services without leaving their homes or offices.

KonsultaMD and AIDE teams do an “All hands in” signifying cooperation and support led by Maridol Ylanan (3rd from left), CEO of Global Telehealth, Inc. which operates KonsultaMD and Paolo Bugayong, co-founder and managing director of AIDE (3rd from right). Together with them are (from L-R): Vinchi Sy-Quia, GTI Business Development Head; Dra. Gia Sison, GTI Chief Medical Officer; and AIDE co-founders and managing directors Pamela Bugayong, and Dr. Patrick Bugayong.

Starting August 15, 2017 up to September 14, 2017, members of KonsultaMD will have the benefit of having a licensed and qualified medical professional who specializes in medical care, nursing care, physical therapy, diagnostics or even animal care, right at their doorstep. During the period, KonsultaMD members get to enjoy one (1) free trial of any AIDE service. They will also get a 10 percent discount on all AIDE services from August 15 onwards.

“We’ve already made it easy for Filipinos with medical needs to get access to professional medical care over the phone, but we decided to take it up a notch by partnering with AIDE. Now, they not only get to talk to medical professionals over the phone but also get to see them personally, and they don’t have to brave the horrendous traffic just to get to the clinic or hospital. They can just stay put and let the doctors come to them,” explained Maridol Ylanan, Chief Executive Officer of Global Telehealth, Inc. (GTI), an affiliate of Globe Telecom.

Dr. Patrick Bugayong, Co-Founder and Managing Director of AIDE said: "AIDE was created with the dream of providing medical care anytime, anywhere for the Filipino people - and it is through this partnership with KonsultaMD that we take another step closer to achieving this. As partners, we will constantly learn, adapt, and improve as we tackle the various pain points of our health care system together. We, at AIDE, are excited as we believe that the phrase "medical care anytime, anywhere" has never been more possible than it has been with AIDE and KonsultaMD.”

The partnership with AIDE is just the latest among many efforts of KonsultaMD to help address common concerns of millions of Filipinos with regard to their healthcare needs. Earlier, KonsultaMD joined hands with healthcare service providers such as FamilyDoc, a 3-in-1 facility with doctors on-site, a laboratory, and pharmacy; MedGrocer online pharmacy; Healthway Medical with its network of mall-based, one-stop-shop clinics; Lifeline, a private, membership-based rescue service; and QualiMed which runs hospitals and multi-specialty clinics.

KonsultaMD is a health hotline service made up of a team of licensed, highly-trained and experienced Filipino doctors who are ready to provide Filipinos with access to high quality medical information anytime, anywhere. Inquiries about health-related issues include but are not limited to maternity, pediatrics, and primary conditions like fever, rashes, and allergies, to name a few. Callers may also inquire about matters pertaining to health coaching, nutrition counselling, permissible medication, and even laboratory results.

To avail of the service, Globe Postpaid customers only need to pay a fee of P150 a month which can be used by up to four additional members. Globe Prepaid and TM customers have the option to subscribe for an individual membership by paying P15 a week or P60 monthly.

Customers of other networks can also subscribe to KonsultaMD by simply logging on to www.konsulta.md, to fill out an online application form. Subscription payments can be made via Visa, MasterCard, GCash, BancNet, or SMART Money.

GCash cautions against gambling apps used for phishing

A recent investigation by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) and the leading mobile wallet GCash, has led to the discovery of certain gambling sites and apps which were used for account takeovers in the recent surge of phishing scams. Additionally, some influencers may have unknowingly promoted these gaming apps without being aware of their fraudulent nature. GCash is now cautioning its users to be extremely careful when accessing online gambling sites and apps, and to avoid them altogether if possible. In this latest scheme, perpetrators created gambling apps while falsely claiming to be accredited by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). These apps deceive users with a verification process, redirecting them to a fake GCash website or payment page to top up betting credits. From there, fraudsters were able to access sensitive information such as credit card details, passwords, GCash numbers, MPINs, OTPs, and other personal data that can be exploited to gain unau
