The company yesterday said the mWell Health ID is now available to use on the app, allowing Filipinos to pull out their medical files anytime they need them.

The mWell Health ID, which can be accessed via the app, serves as a health passport containing a patient's medical records, from drug prescriptions and laboratory results, to emergency contacts and past vaccinations.

As the first of its kind in the Philippines, the mWell Health ID is equipped with privacy controls to protect the medical data of patients. It can be accessed every time a patient visits a doctor, and it can be used to share medical information to skip usual paperworks.
