The Andalucía health service’s phone app that allows patients to schedule an appointment to see their doctor has been expanded to also provide appointments for blood analysis at Málaga’s Hospital Clínico and Hospital Materno Infantil.
Since its launch in 2013, the phone app Salud Responde has been used by patients throughout Andalucía to make a total of 19 million appointments with their GP or paediatrician, according to data from the health service (SAS).
In Málaga province the app has been downloaded by 153,000 users, making up 11 per cent of the total throughout Andalucía.
