* Some of the TeleConsult services, such as video calls via Zoom, are currently not available in our polyclinics, but we will be introducing them in due time.
Teleconsultation is a type of telemedicine service, where digital information and communication technologies, such as computers and mobile devices are used to deliver health-related information. It provides opportunities to make healthcare more convenient, better coordinated, and closer to home.
In a teleconsultation, patients can have consultations with doctors, nurses and allied health professionals in the comfort of their homes or at a location where privacy is assured. These virtual appointments enable patients to receive ongoing care where in-person clinic consultations are not necessary or possible.
Medications, Medical Certificates and/or memos (if any) will be issued to you by our doctors. You will receive the same level of patient care and medical attention from our healthcare professionals.
Typically first outpatient visits are conducted face-to-face in the clinic. Based on our care team's assessment, TeleConsult may be offered for the subsequent clinic consultation.
Common conditions that are non-emergency in nature can be treated via TeleConsult.After the session, you may be required to follow up in person for additional health services. Please approach our healthcare professional who will advise on your suitability, based on your condition.
