RiteMED Philippines, Inc. (RiteMED) recently signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with DigiHealth Specialists, Inc. (DigiHealth), a disruptive digital healthcare technology provider that aims to revolutionize primary healthcare by making it advanced, affordable, and accessible to all in support of the country’s Universal Health Care (UHC) program. The collective goal is to bridge the gap in affordable quality healthcare by simplifying doctor consultations, laboratory procedures, and access to budget-friendly yet high-quality medicine, particularly targeting remote areas where access to quality healthcare remains challenging.

“RiteMED believes that UHC is attainable and relevant to be able to deliver better services that the Filipino people need. RiteMED and DigiHealth are open and committed to working with local government units for its implementation. RiteMED continuously seeks partnerships such as this that enable technology-driven services for faster, more efficient, and more affordable results.” Atty. Jose Maria A. Ochave, President of RiteMED explained. Based on his experience in the government, former Gov. Roberto Pagdanganan, Chairman of DigiHealth, believes that the government is on the right track in implementing UHC as a priority program. “This collaboration aims to bridge gaps in healthcare, specifically by enhancing the accessibility and affordability of laboratory procedures through DigiHealth’s pioneering technologies. By focusing on preventive healthcare and using modern technology, UHC will not only assure accessibility but will also reduce significantly the out-of-pocket expenses being shouldered by the people.”, said Gov. Pagdanganan.

Technological innovator in healthcare

“DigiHealth’s Automated Telehealth Machine (ATM) is an all-in-one machine that covers more than 50 clinical parameters. It can do a comprehensive body diagnostic within a mere 7 minutes or less.  It offers disruptive technology because it will radically change the way healthcare is delivered. DigiHealth ATM makes it more convenient for patients and augments the shortage in healthcare workers at a very affordable cost, thus making Universal Healthcare in the country realizable”, says Ms. Joyce Socao, Managing Director and CEO of DigiHealth.
