To counter this inequality, Doctolib has announced the development of two new functionalities making it easier to distribute the tasks related to the management of children's health.
The sharing of the minor's account and the dematerialized prescription.
Each of the two parents will be able to make an appointment with the doctor and have access to the prescription and therefore will be able to go to a pharmacy.
The objective for Doctolib: "
Save time for parents
" and help reduce inequalities between women and men.
