Morning! I had a meeting this morning so my blog post was delayed :( I met a founder of UrDoc which provides online medical consultation in English, Malay and Japanese. Actually it was second time for me to see him today. Last week, I went to an activity report meeting help by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and I got to know about the service he provides. https://www.ur-doc.com I had interest on this service because I once wrote article called "Need a medical help? Here is a solution for you!". It was about the service provided by Tokyo metropolitan govt. I wondered what's the difference between the public service and UrDoc. So I messaged via UrDoc's fb page and I got a reply!!! Luckily, I got a chance to talk to the founder, Kazunari at this conference. I told him that I'm interested in his service and I want to work with him. After that conference, he gave me his office's address and I visited the office today!!!!
He told me
"When I was a high school student in United States, I experienced severe anaphylactic shock after eating shellfish in a foreign country. I woke up and found myself lying down on bed in the ICU. Everybody surrounding me spoke English but one doctor was a Japanese-American. I was very relieved when the doctor said something in Japanese. Having health issue in foreign country can suddenly turn a person's "having-fun-mode" into tough situation for visitors while traveling overseas. With UrDoc, you can see healthcare professional's availability and book instantly online. UrDoc consults your health issues with text and video chat. As a medical doctor, I have been helping patients for years in Tokyo where people from all over the world visit. I have found out that there is a limitation to solve health issue of many foreign visitors as one doctor. That is why I have made up my mind to invent UrDoc in order to help as many people as possible. I am sure UrDoc will provide an entirely new medical option for foreign visitors when they need medical attention".
I'm so excited about working with him to help more foreign visitors in Japan.
See you tomorrow!!
