A country like the Philippines can benefit from digital health technologies, particularly telemedicine and mobile health, according to a medical expert.

“There’s a real potential to do that here in Southeast Asia, particularly in the Philippines, where you have a large population, it’s very geographically dispersed, maybe people have to travel long distances to access good quality care,” said Dr. Mobasher Butt, chief medical officer at Babylon Health, a UK-based health service provider that provides remote consultations solutions with doctors and health care professionals.
