Uber, the smartphone app-based technology company, has announced a partnership with AlTibbi, an online medical mobile application, to connect its partner-drivers with on-demand doctors.
The application allows partner-drivers to connect with a selection of certified doctors, and get round-the-clock affordable medical consultations over the phone. This gives partner-drivers access to safe and effective medical advice without the need to visit a hospital and wait long hours to address medical inquiries they might have.
Nader Museitif, a senior official at Uber, said: “We are thrilled to partner with AlTibbi on this initiative. This further highlights our focus on partner-drivers’ health and well-being, and also emphasizes our goal to working with regional organizations and startups.”
Jalil Allabadi, CEO, AlTibbi, said: “Our partnership with Uber further supports our goal to expand access to quality, affordable care for our subscribers and their families.”
Through this partnership, Uber aims to offer services to its drivers to make their lives easier. As a number of partner-drivers do not find time to visit a hospital and wait long hours to see a doctor for a consultation, providing them with such services will help in easing the process and get them quick on-demand consultations as needed.
Uber plans to roll-out the app to partner-drivers in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt. A pilot phase in some cities will be launched soon.
The app is currently available on the Apple App Store and Android Google Store, and comes with promotional features such as one-day free trial to give subscribers the opportunity to use the service and learn more about its benefits.
