Covid19: Medicbird Unveils Free Video Consultations For Nigerian Patients Suffering Chronic Health Conditions


Alongside opening call channels that allows patients connect to highly experienced Mental Health Specialists, Medicbird, a growing startup company through the goodwill of over 150 medical doctors, a team of data analyst and call operators has opened up free telemedical services to all Nigerians for 90 days.

The center would focus on helping to manage Chronic health conditions for patients who have or may potentially lose access to healthcare facilities. This became imperative as many private hospitals erstwhile vital in servicing the healthcare needs of millions of Nigerians are either shutting operations or running at half strength due to the Covid19 pandemic.

As the virus continues to rage over many developing countries, patients are fearful of engaging with the healthcare system, even for needs unrelated to COVID-19. This means individuals with medical conditions like lupus, diabetes may in fact find it threatening to access care if they need them.

Strong engagement with patients has however been the core of chronic disease management in healthcare plans, with low acuity check-ins in hospitals or primary health centers and specialists being a vital component of care.

Telemedicine as an alternative: Telemedicine could serve as a substitute for patients unable to access their normal healthcare plans. It is therefore imperative to enable patients receive medical aid in managing illnesses with no additional risk to patient and medical practitioners.

The Medicbird system is designed to enable you reach the center through phone or Whatsapp messages and they get paired to a Nigerian medical doctor through health managers. The entire consultation must happen within a maximum time frame of twelve hours in which a convenient time is booked for both patients and doctors.

Noteworthy, is that while our center's focus is aimed at aiding patients suffering from chronic conditions, we are also poised to help patients with common illnesses needing medical attention through our vast network of General practitioners spread across Nigeria. This service is also entirely free and is enabled by the good gesture of Medicbird's medical professionals.
