This initiative is part of ATOM’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) pillar of Digitalisation of Education & Health, and is particularly beneficial for underserved communities, improving access to healthcare services. ATOM customers across Myanmar can simply dial ‘7887’ from their ATOM numbers to be connected directly to healthcare services provided by Trust Oo.
The telemedicine service covers a wide range of medical consultations, including symptom-based consultation, reproductive health, lifestyle advice, non-judgmental counselling, daily health tips, and access to hospital and clinic directories. Doctor-patient confidentiality is strictly maintained, with medical records safeguarded by Trust Oo.
