DOC2US launches virtual HIV clinic providing free consultationMay 25, 2023
In conjunction with the International AIDS Memorial Day 2023 (IAMD), DOC2US and the Malaysian AIDS Council (MAC) co-organised a commemoration event to officially launch DOC2US’ Virtual HIV Clinic.
The Virtual HIV Clinic is the company’s effort dedicated to providing accessible, equitable and inclusive healthcare to People Living with HIV (PLHIV) and key populations through technology. Leveraging on DOC2US’ technology, the virtual clinic aims to be an avenue and alternative for PLHIV and key populations to seek free medical consultations on HIV or STD related matters through teleconsultations with DOC2US’ licensed and board approved doctors. The platform also allows PLHIV and key populations to obtain self-test kits, lab test referrals and e-prescriptions for medication. Commenting on this, DOC2US CEO and Co-Founder Dr Raymond Choy stated, “The digital space is a readily accessible and indiscriminate facility for everyone. Understanding the stigma, discrimination, or other challenges that PLHIV and key populations might face, we hope to provide a virtual outlet that enables people in need to seek treatment and care in confidence. It is an honour to receive the support of MAC to bring this event to life.” IAMD 2023 is known to be one of the world’s oldest and largest grassroots mobilisation campaigns for HIV awareness in the world. Under its global theme "Spread Love and Solidarity to Build Stronger Communities", MAC and DOC2US aim to draw attention to the challenges that individuals with HIV face due to ongoing discrimination, which can cause shame, self-doubt, and isolation. DOC2US’ Virtual HIV Clinic is accessible via DOC2US telehealth app available on Google Play Store, Apple App Store, Huawei App Gallery as well as their website for desktop. The clinic operates every Wednesday, from 1.00pm to 5.00pm. |
