In our continuous commitment in giving IHC members accessible and quality health care, InLife Health Care has partnered with Medgate. Established over 20 years ago, Medgate is a leading international provider of telemedicine, with operations in Switzerland, the Middle East and the Philippines. They bring our members top-notch and convenient telemedicine services powered by the best of Swiss technology.

Although not a new concept, telemedicine, a manner of delivering clinical care remotely, experienced an increase in adoption among patients and has become necessary during COVID-19 pandemic. It is usually done over the phone or via online video chat, so it helps expand the reach clinical care, minimize disease exposure for staff and patients, preserve personal protective equipment, and reduces patient traffic in health facilities.

Medgate gives IHC members access to licensed and highly skilled Filipino nurses and doctors who are trained in telemedicine, assuring them that they are getting the best of care even from afar. It goes beyond simple telephone correspondence as members can have their laboratory results interpreted, send images and conduct a video call to facilitate diagnosis and treatment, and have medicine delivered to their doorstep through Medgate’s pharmacy partner.
