[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] Where should you go if an accident or illness occurs during the Chuseok holiday period? Goodoc, the nation's number one healthcare platform, announced on the 9th that it plans to further strengthen its services during the Chuseok holiday period to minimize medical service gaps.
This year, Goodoc plans to enhance medical accessibility during the holiday by providing ▲search for hospitals and pharmacies operating during the holiday period ▲real-time non-face-to-face consultations ▲prescription drug delivery services.
Goodoc provides related services every year during holiday periods. In particular, it focuses on minimizing medical service gaps during holidays through services tailored to the situation at the time, such as COVID-19.
The company stated, "With the added risk of COVID-19 infection and the recent change of seasons, Goodoc's real-time non-face-to-face consultation service is expected to enable prompt response to highly contagious cold symptoms."
For users showing cold symptoms, quick consultation as well as rapid medication receipt is important. In the Seoul area, using the Goodoc app allows for medication delivery within 2 hours from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., including on the holiday itself. In other regions, users can find nearby open pharmacies through Goodoc’s ‘Yakguk Chatgi’ (Pharmacy Finder) service and pick up medications directly.
Goodoc CEO Lim Jinseok said, "As COVID-19 and large temperature differences overlap recently, causing shortages of cold medicine, we will enable prompt responses through Goodoc," adding, "We hope that families of all ages gathering during the holiday will have a healthy and safe holiday using Goodoc’s services."
