“Taos-puso kaming nagpapasalamat sa lahat ng nakiisa sa inisyatibo nating ito upang makapaghatid ng kinakailangang tulong medikal sa ating mga kababayan ngayong panahon ng COVID-19 pandemic,” it added.
Thousands of volunteers, especially medical professionals, have been part of the Bayanihan E-Konsulta. The aim is to decongest hospitals being overwhelmed by the number of patients due to rising COVID-19 cases.

“Sa lahat ng ating volunteer doctors, nurses, at iba pang medical professionals, pati na rin sa mga non-medical volunteers na naglaan ng kanilang oras at kakayahan para maging matagumpay ang ating programa, maraming salamat po sa inyo,” the OVP said.
Robredo has also expressed their gratitude to its partners who helped them have a wider reach in the country.
