Health care providers are now adapting to new tele-consultation services that allow patients to remotely access medical advice for general ailments from home or office. Aster DM Healthcare has introduced a free tele-consultation service across its Medcare, Aster Hospital, and Aster Clinic facilities in the UAE, allowing patients to remotely consult qualified doctors for all general ailments.
The leading private healthcare group is one of the first to offer such a service to patients in the UAE, supporting the community to access quality healthcare advice during this challenging time.
“The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic calls for measures to make healthcare services accessible to everyone in the community. Home Quarantine, Social Distancing, and Stay-at-Home announced by authorities are crucial measures to contain the spread of COVID-19.
In the circumstances where people are unable to move out of their homes and offices, we wanted to ensure that our patients continue to receive the best possible care” commented Aster DM Healthcare Founder Chairman and Managing Director Dr. Azad Moopen.
The free tele-consultation service is Aster DM Healthcare’s direct response to help people access quality care from the safety of their homes or office. In the long-term, it would become a paid service with access to wider medical specialities.
