Lung Center Launches Online Consultation for COVID-19 Inquiries

Is the doctor in? No, the doctor is online.

Lung Center of the Philippines launched Lung Center COVID Ask Force — an online platform for all your COVID-19 inquiries that can be attended by over 700 volunteer doctors from their hospital.

Online consultation through COVID Ask Force’s Facebook page is available from Monday to Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. for the morning session with a cut-off time at 10 a.m. The afternoon session starts from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. with a cut-off time at 9 p.m.

The Lung Center aims to lessen the risk of people getting infected by the virus by providing an online consultation right in the comfort of their homes. With this, patients are no longer forced to go to hospitals right away just to get information. Patients will only be required to go to the hospital once the doctors say so.
