The Malaysia Physiotherapy Association (MPA) has recently inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with BookDoc, a Malaysian online healthcare app which currently has a presence in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Thailand.
The MoU was signed by Yew Su Fen, President of MPA and Chevy Beh, founder and CEO of BookDoc. The collaboration aims to improve access to qualified physiotherapists and expand its healthcare platform beyond doctors.
In order to provide hassle-free service ecosystem for users to attend their healthcare appointments, BookDoc has strategic partners from navigation, land and air transport to hotel accommodation in all the countries that it is present.
This is done through deep-linking of its mobile app with Google Maps and Waze for navigation, Grab and Uber for land transport, AirAsia for air transport and Agoda for hotel accommodation.
This is in line with BookDoc’s goal to enhance the access of healthcare in the Asia region. The public, via BookDoc, will be able to access qualified practitioners in the field of physiotherapy who have been certified by MPA and have proper practice facilities.
