The city government of Makati has started the rollout of free online medical consultation services for over 200,000 Makati Health Plus (MHP) Yellow Card holders and their registered dependents.
“We are committed to continuously improving healthcare services for our residents. Through our partnership with KonsultaMD, we aim to ensure that Makatizens can access medical and mental health support anytime and anywhere,” said Mayor Abigail Binay.
Through KonsultaMD’s telehealth services, residents have access to 24/7 video consultations with licensed doctors, mental health counseling, e-prescriptions, laboratory requests, and online medical certificates.
Binay said these comprehensive offerings are designed to make healthcare more accessible, especially for non-emergency situations where visiting a health center might be challenging due to operating hours, holidays, or other constraints.
“This partnership not only enhances the way we provide better healthcare in Makati. We are leading the charge in healthcare innovation, ensuring that every Makatizen has convenient and reliable access to the care they need,” she added.
Residents can access these services by downloading the KonsultaMD app, available on Google Play and the Apple App Store.
Once registered, Makatizens with an MHP Yellow Card will see a Makati Health Pass badge on their app, which confirms their eligibility for free services through KonsultaMD. This badge ensures that they can access all the app’s offerings without any out-of-pocket expenses.
The success of this initiative builds on the pilot program launched in May 2023, where the city partnered with KonsultaMD to provide 24/7 online consults to some 10,785 City Hall employees.
