Business Association (IMBA)
A collaboration between the Italy Malaysia Business Association (IMBA) and Consiglio dal
Medico has been forged to give IMBA Members access to Consiglio dal Medico as part of their
membership benefits.
IMBA is the new non-profit organization established with the patronage of the Italian Embassy in
Kuala Lumpur and the Italian Trade Agency to strengthen bilateral relations between Italy and
Malaysia and create a common platform for the Italian business community.
In particular, the various initiatives organized by IMBA are focused on fostering and supporting the
interest of the Italian Business in Malaysia as well as providing representation to the Malaysian
Government, its Agencies and other Governmental Bodies on issues of concern to the Members
relating to the Italian/Malaysian business community.
Consiglio dal Medico is a mobile app that allows users to ask health-related questions 24/7 to a
network of registered Italian doctors and to chat with them. The app, available for free in App Store
worldwide, does not intend to substitute a medical visit, but it can be of great use to receive a
medical second opinion or when one has a non urgent medical question. As such, it is of great value
for Italians living abroad
Consiglio dal Medico is currently requiring an in-app purchase in order to make a health-related
question. However IMBA members, due to this partnership, will receive a package of 3 free
medical advices.
The partnership was announced in the occasion of the official launch of IMBA last December 15th
at the Royal Lake Club of Kuala Lumpur with the participation of over a hundred representatives of
the Italian and Malaysian business communities and institutions.
“We are glad to be able to offer to our Members such an innovative and practical solution to
interact with Italian physicians. Medical consultation is a critical need for expatriates, particularly
for those living in Asian countries where culture and lifestyle are so different”, declared Mr. Bruno
Bertella, Vice President of Finmeccanica S/E Asia and President of IMBA.
“We are very proud to be able to put our solution at the service of the international Italian
community. Consiglio dal Medico not only allows users to access Italian physicians from thousands
of kilometers away, but it also allows to do so from the comfort of one’s sofa or from a remote
location such as a tropical island, where access to medical facilities could be limited, but internet
connection is nowadays often available” declared Mr. Andrea Silvello, Founder and Partner of
DigitalTech International.
DigitalTech International is a hi-tech firm based in Milan and Singapore founded to leverage on the
experience of the Italian innovative telematics cluster and design a new generation of disruptive
digital solutions.
