Show Notes
On the second episode of the Vietnam Weekly podcast, I spoke with Beth Lopez, the co-founder and CEO of Docosan. This website/app connects prospective patients with hundreds of doctors in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and Da Nang, and allows people to book appointments without going through the process of dealing with a hospital or clinic admin team.
I’ve used Docosan several times and it is hugely helpful for foreigners, who often go to the expensive international-focused clinics simply out of perceived convenience - but it also helped many Vietnamese people, especially those looking for help with mental or sexual health.
Beth and the team at Docosan have created an incredibly useful platform, and she shared some insight gleaned since its launch in April 2020 - right in the teeth of the COVID-19 pandemic.
