Additionally, it offers access to board-certified doctors for non-emergency and non-life threatening medical issues.
History
DoctorOnCall was conceived by Maran Virumandi and his ex-colleague Hazwan Najib while they were both management consultants. They worked towards launching the platform in May 2016.[3]
Platform
The platform provides the public with a non-emergency medical consultation from a healthcare professional via the website. Customers have an option to consult with the doctor via video or phone calls for a fee, with a waiting time of five to seven minutes.[4]
The doctor will issue a necessary medical prescription if required after the consultation ends. It provides medication delivery all around Malaysia and currently, same-day medication delivery service is available in Klang Valley and Penang island area.[5]
