Through the integration of AC Health's comprehensive ecosystem with KonsultaMD, patients now have the convenience of connecting with a wide network of medical professionals, hospitals, clinics, and an assortment of health services using online and offline platforms.

KonsultaMD members can order medicines directly from Generika Drugstore and access the Healthway Medical Network's comprehensive suite of in-clinic diagnostic services such as laboratory, imaging, and rehabilitation. The app will also soon feature a convenient hospital appointment booking feature.

Further enhancing its offerings, the newly launched KonsultaMD Online Pharmacy service powered by Healthway QualiMed Manila will ensure round-the-clock medicine delivery service within Metro Manila.

“The launch of this partnership encapsulates the ecosystem and synergies that AC Health stands for. By linking Generika Drugstore and the Healthway Medical Network’s services to KonsultaMD, we enable more Filipinos to conveniently access healthcare through different touchpoints,” said AC Health President and CEO Paolo Borromeo.

It offers a one-stop shop for all healthcare needs, including 24/7 teleconsultations, mental health support, online pharmacy delivery, at-home labs and diagnostics, and wellness services.
