eHealthNews reported in May that eight providers had been selected for the soft launch of the telehealth service before its go-live in July. Since then, nearly 4,500 New Zealanders have accessed the digital service, which is now fully available to the public.
The eight providers of what is now called ‘Online GP Care’ are; Bettr Online, CareHQ, Emergency Consult, The Doctors Online, MedOnline, Pocket Lab, Tend, and Practice Plus.
