Globe said GoWiFi services have also been available since March 13 in select public and private hospitals nationwide as support to medical frontliners and communities affected by the pandemic.

GoWiFi is available in at least 68 medical institutions across Luzon until April 15.

It is Globe’s WiFi service that aims to provide customers better WiFi experience with speeds of up to 100 Mbps, depending on the location.
