Great health app! I have used this service via the internet platform for quite a few months now. I have now jumped on the new app. Having multiple chronic medical conditions cuppled with severe disabilities, now living alone,it is very reassuring knowing that what ever health service I need or just for advice at what ever hour day or night 7 days, its all a few key strokes away Australia wide - Well done!
