Samsung offers Pulse telemedicine

Samsung Bangladesh has recently collaborated with telemedicine platform Pulse Healthcare Services, offering its MyGalaxy users discounts on video consultation and a customised annual healthcare package.

All video consultations of fees of Tk 500 and above will be eligible for a 15 per cent discount, according to a statement.

Available at Tk 1,000 rather than the regular price of Tk 1,200 for MyGalaxy users, the package offers discounts of Tk 300 on the first online video consultation, 5 per cent on medicine delivery and 20 per cent on home sample collection.

The platform is said to comprise specialised doctors from Bangladesh's renowned hospitals and to offer services including a fully integrated drug database, e-prescription, electronic medical record storage, online pharmacy and home sample collection.

"…we are trying to offer our users the benefits of wellbeing packages, especially during a health crisis like Covid-19," Md Muyeedur Rahman, head of mobile at Samsung Bangladesh

Rubaba Dowla, the platform's founder, said they had "800+ doctors and Pulse 24/7 doctor helpline" accessible "from anywhere and anytime".
