  • How does a video consultation work?

Before each video consultation, you would need to fill in a pre-consultation survey which includes questions about your symptoms, health history, and payment details. Our platform does not cater to serious conditions that require urgent medical attention at the nearest Emergency department of the hospital. Our doctors are trained to identify urgent cases that are not suitable for video consultations.

If deemed unsuitable, the doctor will recommend you to go for a physical consultation either at his/her clinic or a clinic of your choice, and you will not be charged for the video consultation. All documents that have been issued by the doctor, such as medical certificates, referral documents as well as receipts, will be available in-app following each consultation.
