TruDoc Healthcare has risen to the occasion in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak and has been providing patients with appropriate medical management and advice quickly and conveniently given the present medical situation. It is already experiencing an upsurge in audio and video consultations related to respiratory tract infections and other similar illnesses. TruDoc 24x7 is at the forefront of helping people stay informed with the latest information on the COVID-19, warning signs and symptoms and preventive measures to combat this pandemic.
Any individual can call in and speak to a doctor from the convenience of their home or office, anytime and anywhere in the world to check for their health queries. If they are concerned about any symptoms related to COVID-19 or looking for comprehensive information on the illness, typical symptoms and precautions to be followed, they can video or audio call and get truthful and unbiased medical diagnoses from highly trained, DHA licensed doctors rather than relying on unreliable information.
As per Dubai Health Authority guidelines, given the current scenario, it is best to avoid close contact with people and public assemblies and congregations, among other preventive measures. Also, If any person has recently travelled to any country or city which has reported COVID-19 cases or been in contact with someone who has made such travel, and has been experiencing any of the symptoms like fever, cough and difficulty in breathing, it is highly advised that he/she seek medical attention.
TruDoc 24x7 upholds the regulatory bodies’ mandate and urges patients to avoid overcrowded hospitals and facilities and rather, utilize immediate video consultations with doctors from the comfort of their home or workplace and save themselves from unnecessary trips to the hospital and thereby, hospital acquired infections. Our experienced physicians who are highly trained and DHA licensed on telehealth practices are also able to request lab tests as well as issue electronic prescriptions for acute and chronic conditions and ensure delivery of medications, wherever applicable.
Dr. Ebtihal Darwish, our Chief Medical Officer; Dr. Veena Pillai, our Senior Medical Director and Dr. Yosef Alsaieq, our COVID-19 Medical Director are all strong advocate of 24x7 access to doctors in today’s digital age as they find this as the need of the hour.
