KonsultaMD provides foodpanda delivery partners and family members with FREE healthcare

Leading telehealth service platform KonsultaMD and quick-commerce platform foodpanda Philippines have collaborated to provide riders, bikers and other delivery partners and their family members free healthcare for one month.

The partnership aims to support and thank frontliners such as delivery personnel who played a major role in the lives of people stuck in their homes at the height of the global health crisis. The delivery partners also remain indispensable in the nation’s economic recovery.

“Whether it's delivering our morning coffee, our groceries, or medicines, we can’t deny the way delivery has changed and shaped our lives. The riders, our unsung heroes, were the primary point of contact for many people during the pandemic.  They put themselves and their families at risk to help us.  After all that they’ve done for us, it’s time to give back,” said Cholo Tagaysay, KonsultaMD Chief Executive Officer.
