DoctorNow has decided to expand its prescription drug delivery service, which was previously operated from 8 a.m. to midnight, to be available 24/7 throughout the year. Thanks to the cooperation of pharmacists, the 24-hour prescription drug delivery service allows patients to receive non-face-to-face medical consultations and have their prescribed medications delivered even during early morning hours or holidays when it is difficult to find operating hospitals and pharmacies nearby.

The service will initially start covering the entire Seoul area and plans to expand nationwide. DoctorNow aims to contribute to resolving medical accessibility issues during late-night hours by building a system that connects users to doctors and pharmacists whenever and wherever help is needed.

Im Kyungho, Vice President of DoctorNow, said, "Thanks to the many pharmacists who sympathized with our company's goal of filling medical gaps, an environment where 24-hour medical services can be used has been established. Whether early in the morning or late at night, we will continue to do our best to establish a reasonable environment where patients can receive medical consultations from doctors and have their medications dispensed by pharmacists whenever they are ill."
