To support front line healthcare workers, Grab cofounders Anthony Tan and Tan Hooi Ling have launched GrabCare, a dedicated transport service that ferries healthcare professionals to and from hospitals in Singapore.
The service offers riders a fixed fare and round-the-clock service. Within 12 hours of its launch, the new temporary platform saw encouraging support from the driver community, with almost 2,000 Grab drivers volunteering to participate.
