The Importance of Online Doctors’ Consultations Amidst COVID-19

While our healthcare system struggles to adapt to the ongoing pandemic, it is becoming increasingly difficult for patients to get appointments with doctors or specialists. Aside from that, the risk of contracting more dangerous strains of the virus is higher at hospitals and clinics. However, healthcare needs cannot be overlooked and this issue requires an immediate fix.

Digital healthcare has been found to be a safe, cost-effective and convenient way to provide healthcare services, especially in a situation similar to the current healthcare crisis. Online doctors’ consultations effortlessly connect you to a doctor or specialist of your choice, at a time of your choice, via video call from the safety of your own home.

Stay Home

Due to the COVID-19 lockdown, we have all been strictly advised to not leave home unless it is absolutely necessary. Lockdown measures placed by the government have made visiting a doctor increasingly difficult. Shifaam offers you the ease of connecting with your doctor through call or video call, so that you can stay home and access the healthcare assistance you need. This helps you maintain all social distancing protocols while getting the required attention you need through online and virtual consultations.

Save Costs

Choosing virtual consultations or online doctors has numerous advantages, one of which is that all added costs accompanying your usual visit to a doctor are saved. For example, the cost of transport. Online consultations will also save you from the hassle of traffic, which can be especially daunting during rush hours. This is an extremely cost-efficient and safe way to keep up with your routine doctor’s consultations.

Skip the Waiting Room

While the conventional way of seeing a doctor requires you to wait in traffic and then awaiting room before being able to see the doctor, online consultations have no waiting time at all. This means that if you use online consultations as a means to see your doctor, you can rid yourself of the inconvenient process of waiting entirely. You’ll simply be connected with your doctor at the time of your consultation.

Protect Precious Lives

Hospitals and clinics are considered to be breeding grounds for the most harmful strains of the COVID-19 virus. Connecting with a doctor or specialist remotely is the best way to prevent yourself and your family members from contracting the virus. The ideal way to defend yourself and your family members against this virus is to consult with your doctor online.
