Grab partners with telemedicine firm WhiteCoat to speed up medication delivery

Patients will be able to receive medicine in 90 minutes.

Digital healthcare provider WhiteCoat has forged a partnership with Grab to provide medication delivery via GrabExpress, according to a press release.

The partnership aims to reduce the waiting time for medication delivery to 90 minutes from the current average of three hours.

GrabExpress Singapore head Ronald Wong added that users can track the delivery of their medication through the Grab app.

WhiteCoat offers video consultation with Singapore-registered general practitioners. Their partnership with Grab comes on the heels of an earlier tie-up with insurance company AIA.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
