KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 10): Telemedicine provider DOC2US has geared up to provide free virtual health advisory services via the MySejahtera and DOC2US app.
In a statement Wednesday (Feb 9), the firm said this was in view of the continuous rise in new daily COVID-19 cases.
DOC2US chief executive officer Dr Raymond Choy said the firm, which issues digitally signed e-prescriptions in compliance with the Ministry of Health, observed renewed concerns amongst the public on COVID-19 and the new variants on the free Virtual Health Advisory that it has been providing since March 2020.
He explained that the DOC2US COVID-19 Task Force is a voluntary telemedicine service to help the public gain adequate information about the spread and the management of the COVID-19 pandemic and reduce patient-medical healthcare specialist contact.
“Currently manned by 125 volunteering doctors and healthcare professionals, the Task Force has logged more than 2.2 million hours to date in providing medical advice on COVID-19 and related health issues to the public since March 2020.
“The Task Force is an effort aimed to reduce the burden of the public healthcare system.
“We also want to inform the public of the available help and options readily accessible to them especially while they are quarantined at home,” he said.
Choy said that to access the free Virtual Health Advisory through MySejahtera, users can log on to their MySejahtera App and click on Digital Healthcare under the expanded Menu tab, or access via the DOC2US app or https://www.doc2us.com.
