Metro Pacific Investments Corporation’s (MPIC) mWell heeds the government’s call advocating digitalization initiatives to empower Filipinos through technology during the launch of the GoDigital Pilipinas (GDP) movement. mWell, the Philippines’ first fully integrated and fully digital health and wellness platform, is the only healthcare app among the convenor organizations and supporting companies in the GDP.

Ms. Chaye Cabal-Revilla, MPIC Chief Finance, Risk and Sustainability Officer and mWell CEO represented mWell in the GDP launch during the National Economic and Development Authority 2023-2028 Forum at the PICC convened by The Private Sector Advisory Council Digital Infrastructure (PSAC-DI).

“mWell is honored to be part of GoDigital Pilipinas. Our collaboration with GDP will increase awareness and widen access to digital healthcare, especially in far-flung areas. Our innovative digital solutions respond to our countrymen’s needs, ensuring good health for economic productivity and nation-building. We shall continue to bring healthcare closer to more Filipinos here and abroad through a fully integrated, sustainable, and future-proof digital platform,” said Ms. Cabal-Revilla.

Since its launch, mWell has provided access to quality digital healthcare in a country with an average 3.7 doctors per 10,000 population-- way below the World Health Organization-prescribed ratio of 10 per 10,000. It addresses the shortage of healthcare facilities and personnel in rural areas and underprivileged sectors.
