In an exciting step towards improving access to affordable healthcare for gig workers, MedAi has partnered
with Foodpanda Bangladesh to offer subsidized healthcare subscription packages to over 18,000
delivery riders
and their families. These packages provide options for both virtual and in-person medical
consultations,
ensuring riders and their loved ones can access essential healthcare services when needed. This collaboration
aligns with MedAi’s mission to deliver inclusive, AI-powered healthcare to underserved and mobile populations.
Foodpanda’s rider community plays a vital role in powering Bangladesh’s growing digital economy. Yet, these workers often struggle to access timely and affordable medical care due to long working hours, irregular schedules, and a lack of structured health benefits. Through this partnership, riders can now use AmarDoctor, MedAi’s voice-interactive digital health platform, to consult with doctors, receive personalized health education, and manage their healthcare needs—all from their smartphones.
What makes AmarDoctor truly innovative is its ability to help patients with limited literacy to take advantage of AI features such as voice commands in Bengali to describe symptoms, book appointments, and receive AI-supported medical guidance—all without the need to type or navigate complex menus. Additionally, the platform offers culturally relevant health education and treatment reminders, ensuring continuous care even for those with limited health literacy.
As part of this initiative, AmarDoctor is offering subsidized medical subscription packages for foodpanda riders, reflecting its commitment to deliver healthcare for everyone. The subscription packages not only cover the riders but also extend healthcare benefits to their family members, providing a comprehensive solution for their health needs.
This collaboration is more than just about convenience—it’s about acknowledging the value of essential workers and providing them with the support they deserve. By empowering riders with flexible, technology-enabled care, MedAi and Foodpanda are ensuring that gig workers—who often fall through the cracks of traditional health systems—can prioritize their health without sacrificing income or time on the road.
Together, MedAi and Foodpanda are redefining what it means to deliver—combining food, speed, and now, healthcare.
