TELEPHONE & VIRTUAL CONSULTATIONS

Benefits of Online Doctor Consultations

The online doctor consultations platform makes it possible for South Africans to access a healthcare professional without having to travel to a healthcare facility.

• Virtual healthcare tools can help to identify people who need referral to hospital and reduce overcrowding at clinics and general practitioner’s rooms where there is greater risk of the virus spreading.
• Being able to connect people to healthcare through this virtual channel limits exposure to COVID-19 and therefore safeguards the health of our doctors and healthcare workers who are providing care to patients with COVID-19.
