The dilemma of finding physicians(in nearby location and correct specialization) is a common challenge for Filipinos. People spend long hours over the phone to confirm a doctor's schedule. Worst, they get transferred to different departments only to find out that the Doctor is on leave or is doing rounds in a different medical facility.
In hospitals, patients locate doctors by scanning a mind-wreaking list of medical professionals in the local display board.
As a result, the process of matching a readily available doctor is inconvenient and agitating.
Patients are meant to get well when they go to hospitals right?
Tech Startup "Where's My Doctor" make doctors accessible to patients in just one click. Using a mobile application and web platform, people simply enters a keyword in the searchbox. Filters are then prompted to make a specified search of medical professionals.
The group's advocacy is to expedite medical attention for patients by making a direct contact to doctors through a filtered search framework.
"What's the Roadmap for your Startup?"

The app and web innovation can be a major breakthrough in the medical field. It will make the lives of people and allied health professionals accessible.
