Customer support teams are also available 24/7 to help clients.

“What we’ve got built for healthcare institutions, we are actually making available to each Filipino home,” Andrian A. Perez, president of PharmaServ Express Inc., said in an announcement.
“This app is our answer to problems which have gone unaddressed for too long—long lines on the pharmacy, incomplete medicines, and drug products losing their potency before they reach the patient,” he added.
Through the PharmaServ Express app, patients can have prescriptions, medical devices, and private care products delivered from their preferred drugstore in Metro Manila and nearby areas, with expert guidance from online pharmacists.
Each order is packed in temperature-controlled boxes with data loggers to make sure quality throughout delivery.
