Telemedicine service provider, NetDoc, officially announced the launch of its innovative ‘Healthcare on the GO’ campaign on October 19th. This campaign aims to address the evolving needs of patients and clients in the healthcare sector.
During the launch event held in Kampala, Brenda Namiiro, the Head of Sales at NetDoc, along with other speakers, shared insights into the campaign’s objectives.
NetDoc’s ‘Healthcare on the GO’ initiative is set to redefine healthcare accessibility by providing high-quality medical consultations that are available to anyone, anywhere, and at any time. This convenience is made possible through the NetDoc Telemedicine app.
Dr. Wilbrode Okungu, the Chief Executive Officer of NetDoc, emphasized the importance of accessible healthcare. He stated via Zoom to health reporters in Kampala that quality and timely healthcare should not be considered a luxury but a fundamental right.
He highlighted how NetDoc, in an era marked by rapid technological advancements in the medical field, is at the forefront of this progress. Okungu stressed that quality healthcare should not be constrained by geographical limitations but should be universally accessible.
Richard Olowo, the Marketing Manager at NetDoc, echoed these sentiments, noting that in today’s fast-paced world, waiting for medical care is not a viable option.
The ‘Healthcare on the GO’ campaign is a comprehensive effort to provide on-demand access to qualified healthcare professionals through a user-friendly mobile application. This platform enables users to consult with over 350 health specialists, obtain prescriptions, and access various medical services from the comfort of their chosen location.
The NetDoc app facilitates instant connections between users and licensed healthcare providers through video or voice calls, ensuring prompt medical advice. Users can also receive e-prescriptions, conveniently sent to them.
NetDoc doctors can refer users to specialists when necessary, ensuring that patients receive the best possible care. The app also allows users to securely store their medical history and records, simplifying consultations and health management.
Notably, the NetDoc telemedicine app serves as a crucial platform connecting hospitals with patients, significantly improving healthcare accessibility and efficiency. By streamlining referrals to hospitals such as Ruby Hospital and East African Medical, the app alleviates the strain on emergency rooms, thereby ensuring timely and critical care.
Through optimized referrals and seamless coordination between primary care doctors and specialists, NetDoc revolutionizes healthcare by enhancing communication, prioritizing patient needs, and ensuring effective treatments.
NetDoc has forged strategic partnerships with key players in the healthcare sector, including reputable laboratories such as Lancet, C-Lab, and SAMEDAY Laboratories, to ensure accurate and timely diagnostic services that are essential for effective medical treatment. Additionally, NetDoc collaborates with well-known pharmacies like Vine Pharmacy and Guardian Health to ensure the availability of prescribed medications and essential healthcare products.
Furthermore, NetDoc’s affiliations with prominent hospitals like Bethany Hospital and Ruby Hospital guarantee access to specialized medical care and treatment options for patients in need. The organization is also in the process of formalizing partnerships with government-aided health facilities across Uganda, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health officials.
These partnerships reflect NetDoc’s commitment to providing comprehensive and high-quality healthcare services, as highlighted by Brenda Namiiro, the Head of Sales at NetDoc. Namiiro emphasized how the ‘Healthcare on the GO’ campaign is breaking down barriers, making healthcare accessible to busy professionals and individuals seeking prompt and flexible health solutions. This campaign underscores NetDoc’s dedication to democratizing healthcare and improving lives.
