Residents in Palawan’s 1st District now have expanded access to digital healthcare services through virtual medical consultations and electronic health records, developed in partnership with Taytay Mayor Norbert Salvame Lim and Rep. Rosalie Salvame.
During a three-day rollout, the company introduced health kiosks equipped with tablets and printers for remote doctor consultations, along with a digital app for Barangay Health Workers to collect and manage patient data. mWell also launched its Health ID, which allows residents to store medical records, prescriptions, vaccination histories, and laboratory results in a single digital profile.
mWell President and CEO Chaye Cabal-Revilla said the initiative aims to reach communities with limited access to healthcare. She noted Palawan’s geography makes digital tools essential to improving local medical services.
“This project reflects what we stand for, ensuring that every Filipino, even in the farthest island, can reach a doctor when they need one,” said Cabal-Revilla. “Palawan represents the strength and resilience of the communities we aim to serve. Through mWell, we are proving that world-class healthcare can reach them wherever they are. This is how we build a nation where care truly knows no boundaries.”
Mayor Lim said the program will help residents reduce travel time for consultations and allow local health workers to deliver services more efficiently.
“With mWell now in our district, families who once had to travel far just to see a doctor can now consult online. Our health workers can deliver services more efficiently, and our communities can finally experience the kind of healthcare they deserve,” said Mayor Lim. “This partnership shows what happens when innovation is driven by compassion. We are bringing hope and healing to our people.”
mWell officials, including head of government and community programs Tisha Quinitio, joined Taytay municipal leaders and health officers during the rollout. Quinitio said the project is designed to integrate digital healthcare into daily community routines and support frontline workers through improved data systems.
The launch is part of a wider public-private effort to strengthen digital health services nationwide. mWell is also working with the Department of Information and Communications Technology on possible integration of its services into the government’s eGov PH app, a move the company said could expand digital access to doctors and health records for millions of Filipinos.
