Watsons also has its first state-of-the-art clinic powered by The Medical City that features virtual consultation and remote physical examination. A laboratory technician is present to facilitate the use of a Tytocare gadget that will enable a remote doctor to hear abdominal and chest sounds, check the ears, mouth, throat, and skin and provide prescription and lab requests. The patient can then fulfill prescriptions at the Watsons pharmacy right beside the area. What a convenient, fast, and affordable way to get diagnosed and get medications. Soon, vaccination services for flu, HPV, and pneumonia will be available at the clinic.

Muñoz, President & CEO, The Medical City Clinic
