PetPal, the Philippines’ first all-in-one digital petcare platform from 917Ventures, is transforming the country’s veterinary landscape with its Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Portal.
This latest innovation marks PetPal’s move in expanding its services to cater not just to pet owners, but also Filipino veterinarians.
The EMR Portal aims to help in streamlining patient management by linking pet owners’ information submitted through the PetPal app with veterinarians' patient records–providing quick access to comprehensive profiles for faster, more accurate diagnoses and treatments.
Martin Luchangco, General Manager of PetPal highlighted that the integration of a digitized system can enhance overall clinic efficiency; guiding veterinarians through the entire process—from initial consultations and scheduling procedures to managing prescriptions.
"We see the Vet EMR Portal as a game-changer for Filipino veterinarians," Luchangco said. He mentions how the platform’s real-time sync with the information submitted through the PetPal app is what sets it apart from other EMR service providers, making it easier for both vets and pet owners to keep track of their pets’ medical records.
In the Philippines, where 79% of households own pets, the veterinary sector faces considerable challenges. With only around 10,000 active veterinarians and fewer than 500 clinics nationwide, the ratio of pets to veterinarians is a staggering 2,000 to 1.
This shortage highlights a substantial gap in the availability and accessibility of veterinary services, which PetPal seeks to bridge by empowering veterinarians using the EMR portal.
For a limited time, vets are offered FREE access to PetPal’s EMR services. Those interested in exploring the benefits of the EMR Portal may visit https://org-portal.petpal.asia/login for more details.
