MANILA, PHILIPPINES — KonsultaMD, a pioneering telehealth platform under the Globe Group’s 917Ventures, has embarked on a transformative journey with the appointment of Beia Latay as Chief Executive Officer.
This leadership change signals a pivotal moment that underscores a commitment to diversity, inclusivity, and empowerment in the healthcare sector.
With a storied career in healthcare, innovation, and technology, Beia brings a bold vision to her role and aims to redefine healthcare as a fundamental right for every Filipino.
“I am privileged to lead KonsultaMD into an era where healthcare knows no bounds of access or inclusivity,” said Beia. “Our purpose is to ensure that every individual, irrespective of their location or economic status, can access quality care when they need it. Through technology and strong partnerships, we seek not only to improve healthcare delivery but ultimately to provide relevant and tailored care to each Filipino.”
Beia’s impressive career includes a key role in establishing Ayala Healthcare Holdings, Inc.
