KUALA LUMPUR, March 2 – DOC2US, Malaysia’s first and largest digital health provider, Selgate Healthcare Sdn Bhd (Selgate), will be collaborating to provide complete and comprehensive digital healthcare services to Malaysian pilgrims.
Both parties have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) that would allow pilgrims to access virtual healthcare services remotely, offering more convenient, accessible, and affordable digital healthcare during the pilgrimage for umrah and haj.
The two companies said the collaboration is expected to pioneer digital healthcare in the travel industry, providing users with more options to maintain healthcare needs in their journey.
Selgate is the healthcare arm of Selgate Corporation, a subsidiary of the State Development Corporation of Selangor (PKNS).
DOC2US chief executive officer and co-founder Dr Raymond Choy said the parties aim to work with the government and authorities to solve some of the pain points faced by the industry and pilgrims.
“For pilgrims who are in another foreign land in need of medical attention during their pilgrimage, they will have access to digital healthcare services such as teleconsultations, virtual health advisory, e-prescriptions, and more, through DOC2US and Selgate,” he added.
DOC2US and Selgate’s MoU will see an integration of DOC2US’ digital health technology and platform with Selgate’s subsidiaries, including the Selangkah super-app, where both will be working hand-in-hand to provide integrated and seamless digital healthcare services to Malaysian pilgrims.
“Through this integration, the use of Selangkah app and DOC2US’ GPS tracking solutions will enable real-time monitoring and tracking of the pilgrims’ health and location, which will aid in providing timely medical attention in case of emergencies, as well as other future possibilities of collaboration,” the companies said.
Selgate Corporation executive director Datuk Noor Hisham Mohd Ghouth said the collaboration would not only help improve the pilgrims’ health and well-being but also lead to the development of new and innovative healthcare solutions.
“By leveraging technology and innovative healthcare solutions for health services integration, it will not only enhance the quality of healthcare services provided to the pilgrims but also benefit the healthcare industry as a whole,” he added.
