August 23, 2022 – Gotodoctor.ca, a leading Canadian healthcare solution company, successfully launches GotoDrugStore SMS Application for pharmacies to advance communication with their customers. This subscription (Software as a Service or SaaS) solution is now available at www.gotodrugstore.ca.

Most pharmacies still utilize the traditional method of communication including phone calls and voice messages. SMS messages have been shown to be superior over other communication methods, with over 90% open rate. It also provides a faster response time, usually within minutes, compared to emails and voice messages. GotoDrugStore SMS Application now brings this effective and engaging communication for pharmacies across the country.

Gotodoctor.ca has already developed the Clinitok SMS application for physicians and clinic staff (for more information, click here), which is directly integrated with the WELL Health EMR.

Over 120 pharmacies, medical clinics and health facilities in Canada already subscribe to Gotodoctor.ca’s virtual and in-person physician care service platform.
