Marham, a Pakistani healthcare network has launched its online medical consultation services for the people of Pakistan with an aim to make quality healthcare and doctors accessible for everyone irrespective of their area, time or location.
Marham Co-Founder & User Experience Head Asma Salman Omer said that in today’s world, where the technological advancements and digitalisation has overcome the intimacy and emotions, humans have a role to play. She said that this service was an extension of the empathy, care and the impact we want to impart on lives of people with ensuring quality healthcare access for patients from everywhere.
The online consultation service guarantees access to the inaccessible. Patients can visit the website, submit their details and get connected to qualified and authentic doctors over audio or video call. More importantly, this whole process ensures complete privacy. With many people living in the rural areas and away from hospitals, this service will enable them to acquire medical consultation without the hassle of travelling long hours.
Marham also had established an appointment booking helpline which is actively booking appointments of patients with the doctors, but with this service, those who were still unable to see a doctor and couldn’t show up physically can greatly benefit. This service fulfills a prodigious gap among the patients and doctors making access to a doctor much easier than it was ever before.
