KonsultaMD has partnered with PEPFAR and USAID to offer inclusive healthcare for the LGBTQ+ community. As the first telehealth application in the Philippines, KonsultaMD offers Inclusive Care, featuring doctors trained in SOGIESC, gender sensitivity, and motivational counseling. This partnership aims to provide comprehensive care for the LGBTQ+ community.
Through KonsultaMD, the LGBTQ+ community now has access to Inclusive Care doctors who are trained to understand and address their specific needs. KonsultaMD provides a safe and respectful space for consultations, offering knowledgeable healthcare services, including those for sexual health.
“KonsultaMD is dedicated to breaking down barriers in healthcare access for the LGBTQ+ community,” said Beia Latay, KonsultaMD CEO.
“Our partnership with PEPFAR-USAID’s EpiC Project allows us to offer specialized care that respects and understands the challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community. We believe that everyone deserves access to quality healthcare, and this initiative is an important step towards achieving that goal.”
By removing common barriers of limited understanding, stigma, discrimination, confidentiality concerns, and restricted access to services, the initiative encourages the LGBTQ+ community to prioritize their health. Overcoming these obstacles is crucial, as delaying care may result in poorer health outcomes for common illnesses within the community.
