Technology is making life easier, efficient and convenient. The advancement in technology has made telemedicine a possibility.
Telemedicine is the use of electronic communication and software to provide clinical services to patients remotely without making a physical visit to a hospital or clinic. Now, anyone with a smartphone can get access to quality personalised medical attention.
With GoGP+ Telemedicine App, your Doctor is just a click away. Recently launched in Uganda, the GoGP+ App provides an easy and convenient way to seek medical assistance.
Through the app, one can talk to a certified medical Doctor in real time by video and text chat from the comfort of your home or office, without going to a hospital or clinic thus maintaining social distance.
“With the GoGP+ app, the problem of self medication and wrongful prescription will be put to rest,” Paul Mwebesa the Chief Operations Officer of GoGP+ said.
“The App is very useful especially during these times of social distancing, when we are required to limit social interaction as much as possible. It limits the risk of catching or speeding the virus for both the patients and medical personnel.” He added.
The GoGP+ app is available on play store and app store. The cost for consulting a general practitioner is 15,000/= and a specialist is 30,000/=.
