Online Health Company Limited on Tuesday, September 8th, 2020 launched a one-stop hospital for all through a telemedicine app called “Ohealth Odoctor” that bridges the gap between health consultants and the public bringing both parties together on-air for effective health delivery.
The recent and sudden effect of the COVID 19 pandemic has again brought the world to the reality of how vulnerable human beings could be if there are no functional health facilities that are void of too many layers of protocols and bottlenecks. It is not a gainsaying that at this critical moment of human life, there is an ultimate and immediate need to bring health solutions closer to people where most needed to keep hope alive and preserve the human race as much as possible.
Dr Temitope Faronbi, Neurologist and founder of Ohealth Odoctor, said;
“The need to provide people with a better, faster and affordable health delivery system propelled the development of Ohealth initiative.”
“In the past, people’s experience in accessing healthcare has been mired with great difficulties, thus making them seek alternative care which oftentimes are not the best and have negative effects on their overall medical situation.”
“Ohealth takes into consideration the purchasing power of the majority who cannot afford so much to see a doctor and developed three models in form of text chats, audio and video calls which allow anyone to talk to a qualified medical doctor and specialist with as low as N40 per chat, N100 per minute for audio call and N300 per minutes for video call.”
“Medical doctors on the App platform are committed to the mission of saving lives and preserving human race. They are going to be 24/7 available to attend to people across the globe as much as possible. Where they can’t due to unforeseen circumstances, you can book a session with them by dropping messages that will be attended to within 24 hours.”
Also, in addressing the issue of confidentiality, she affirmed that; Health information is personal and doctors are trained to respect and apply the rule of confidentiality when interfacing with patients even till after death.” “Similarly, the app also runs in a way that information is encrypted between the doctor and the patient.”
The new terrain of online health in which Ohealth is introducing is designed for global reach for the purpose of medical consultation and other health services customized for individual needs at an affordable price. The telemedicine app is a user-friendly app and works with android phones at a go which comes with text chat, audio and video call, thus making people live a healthy lifestyle. Hence, this new but effective health initiative will improve healthcare services and create an environment of trust and confidence for all stakeholders in Nigeria and globally.
