Free online healthcare for rural town

Free online healthcare for a year is to be provided to rural Mokau by www.doctorglobal.com.

New Plymouth District council nominated the 900-strong King Country community in a Dr Global adopt-a-town competition.

Residents who have no computer can still access free online consultations through the Mokau Medical centre, says Dr Global CEO Tom Mulholland.

The New Plymouth-based doctor-owned organisation is now working with health providers in the area in offering their services.
