Healthcare is evolving, and online doctor consultations have made it easier than ever to access medical advice and treatment from the comfort of your own home. Whether you need a quick consultation, a prescription renewal, or general health advice, online consultations offer a range of benefits that in-person visits can’t always match.
What Are Online Doctor Consultations?
An online doctor consultation allows you to speak with a registered doctor via a secure video call, chat, or phone call. Instead of going to a clinic, you can discuss your health concerns from wherever you are and receive medical advice, medical certificates, online prescriptions, and specialist referrals.
