Foodpanda Bangladesh, an online food and grocery delivery platform, has recently organised a free health camp, aiming to promote health and well-being of the delivery partners through accessible medical support.
In collaboration with Amar Doctor, a concern of MedAI, an AI-powered digital healthcare platform, Foodpanda鈥檚 flagship Panda Hearts鈥� Programme organised the health camp at its Khilgaon hub, said a press release on Thursday.
It offered basic primary health screenings, including diabetes tests, blood pressure and pulse checks, body temperature and oxygen saturation measurements, BMI assessments, peak flow tests to evaluate lung function and urine tests.
Following the screenings, doctors provided on-the-spot consultations and prescriptions. MedAI also organised a fun quiz session for the participating riders, where top scorers received exclusive gift items as prizes.
鈥楾his initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to the people who keep foodpanda moving,鈥� said Mukitur Khan, head of logistics at Foodpanda.
鈥榃hile our delivery partners operate as freelancers, we consider their well-being a responsibility and we鈥檙e grateful to partners like MedAI for enabling us to extend this support,鈥� he added.
As part of the collaboration, MedAI has also developed four subsidised healthcare packages exclusively for foodpanda delivery partners ranging from Tk 35 to Tk 279 for 1 month to 1 year.
These packages include 24/7 doctor hotline, video consultations, treatment follow up and AI-powered health insights, all available by paying a nominal monthly or yearly subscription fee.
In addition to in-person screenings and wellness guidance, riders who subscribe to the medAi鈥檚 health packages will also receive two free telemedicine consultations, valid for one month, via MedAI鈥檚 Amar Doctor App.聽
Earlier, foodpanda organised a similar health camp for delivery partners in Gulshan.
