News DeskDubai, UAE – myAster, the pioneering omnichannel healthcare platform by Aster DM Healthcare, has announced a significant expansion of its pharmacy and wellness delivery services, bringing round-the-clock express delivery to patients in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, and Ras Al Khaimah. This move extends the platform’s successful model beyond Dubai, where it was first launched, to cover five Emirates.
The expansion allows patients across the five Emirates to benefit from myAster’s 24×7 Express delivery service, providing swift access to a wide range of products, including prescription medicines, health supplements, beauty care items, and daily wellness essentials. This new service is distinct from the platform’s standard delivery option, focusing on a faster and more convenient experience for users.
The decision to expand was driven by the growing consumer demand for doorstep access to not only essential medicines but also a broader spectrum of wellness and beauty products. These include vitamins, nutritional supplements, skincare, mother-and-baby care, and personal care items. The success of myAster’s 60-minute delivery service in Dubai served as a catalyst for scaling the model to other Emirates, meeting the evolving need for convenient and reliable healthcare solutions.
Nalla Karunanithy, CEO of Digital Health and E-Commerce, Aster DM Healthcare, commented on the expansion, stating, “myAster was built to transform how people access healthcare, making it faster, easier, and more reliable. This expansion is not just about convenience, but about building a health and wellness ecosystem that truly revolves around patients.” He added that by expanding the express delivery services, myAster is “catering to the evolving lifestyle and health needs of today’s consumers who value both convenience and holistic well-being.”
Since its launch in July 2022, myAster has rapidly grown to become a leading integrated healthcare superapp in the UAE. With over 2.8 million downloads, the platform has touched the lives of more than 2 million people over the past three years. In FY24 alone, myAster facilitated over 1 million appointment bookings, with two-thirds of all physical appointments at Aster now being scheduled through the app.
myAster continues to evolve its comprehensive healthcare ecosystem, integrating pharmacy, health, and wellness services. Users can access a variety of features, including teleconsultations, in-person appointment bookings, lab report access, and chronic condition management, all while having the convenience of shopping for wellness and beauty products. With its recent launch in Saudi Arabia and the nationwide expansion of its 24×7 Express delivery in the UAE, myAster is solidifying its position as a key player in the region’s digital health and wellness landscape.
