MAH, DOC2US team up to provide Covid-19 testing for inbound travellers
KUALA LUMPUR (April 18): Digital health service provider DOC2US has teamed up with the Malaysian Association of Hotels (MAH) to provide travellers and guests at member hotels of MAH with a one-stop solution for Covid-19 testing requirements through DOC2US’ virtual RTK Intelligent System (RTKis).
In a joint statement on Monday (April 18), the firm said the AI-powered RTKis launched in 2021, which was verified by licensed doctors, is the first-ever virtual RTK-Ag screening solution in Malaysia.
MAH president Datuk N Subramaniam said the association is strongly aligned with the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture’s (MOTAC) five-year plan to boost domestic tourism based on six pillars, focusing on domestic tourism and promotions, international tourism recovery, digital adoption, innovation, health and safety.
“Currently, more than 20 MAH member hotels have signed up and are in the process of adoption.
“When booking a hotel room at MAH participating member hotels, travellers can now opt to add RTKis, which will be given to them upon check-in,” he said.
Meanwhile, DOC2US CEO and co-founder Dr Raymond Choy said the tourism and travel industry were the hardest hit during the pandemic.
“As a digital healthcare service provider, there are certainly more areas we can cover in order to help the tourism and hotel industry regain their footing.
“By starting with RTKis and Virtual Health Advisory for travellers, we can reassure them of our health and safety standards,” he said.
