Need medicines fast? myAster expands 24/7 express delivery service to 4 more emirates

Dubai: myAster, the digital health platform from Aster DM Healthcare, has expanded its 24/7 express delivery service beyond Dubai.

Residents in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, and Ras Al Khaimah can now receive medicines, health supplements, and beauty products in 90 minutes.

The expansion is a response to demand for home delivery of both prescription medicines and a range of wellness and beauty items.

The service was first launched in Dubai with a 60-minute delivery promise. According to Nalla Karunanithy, CEO of Digital Health and E-Commerce at Aster DM Healthcare, the expansion is focused on making healthcare more accessible.

"This expansion is not just about convenience, but about building a health and wellness ecosystem that truly revolves around patients," Karunanithy said.

The myAster app offers prescription drugs along with a range of other products, including vitamins and nutritional supplements, skincare and beauty products, mother-and-baby care items, and personal hygiene products.

This expansion moves the service beyond Dubai to become a nationwide service for residents in five emirates.

Since its launch in 2022, myAster has garnered over 2.8 million downloads and has been utilised by more than 2 million people. In-person doctor appointments at Aster are increasingly being booked through the app.

With a recent launch in Saudi Arabia and this new expansion in the UAE, myAster is continuing its regional growth.
