Zhang Pu, a subscriber of the family doctor program, described how he has benefited from the service.

“My family members and I are not in good health, and we don’t have enough time to see a doctor offline,” he said during the interview. “Since I subscribed to the family doctor service, my family members can use it too. We find it convenient and effective to tackle our problems.”
