The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) is partnering with mWell, the digital health arm of Metro Pacific Investments Corp. (MPIC), to integrate healthcare services into the government's eGov PH App.
This collaboration aims to establish the Philippines' first national digital health integration within a government platform, allowing users direct access to medical services.
DICT Undersecretary Henry Rhoel Aguda stated that this initiative is the beginning of automating healthcare end-to-end, envisioning health centers with digital records accessible via the eGov app.
Manuel V. Pangilinan, Chairman, President, and CEO of MPIC, believes this partnership will be instrumental in ensuring every Filipino's right to quality care and improving the quality of life in communities.
The integrated platform will allow eGov PH's 18 million users to securely store their medical records and book online consultations.
