How Telehealth Clinics Are Effective In Pakistan


 

As the COVID-19 pandemic is now in the midst of a second wave all over the world, we must continue to practice all safety precautions recommended by health officials. This includes relying on the use of telehealth services in Pakistan now, more than ever.

Teleclinics in Pakistan have really taken off since the start of this pandemic. It is no surprise really, considering the numerous benefits it has been providing for patients all over the country.

Telehealth services in Pakistan make use of the digital information and communication technologies, such as computers and cellphones, in order to provide health care services remotely and manage health care. Hospitals like the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) provide teleclinics in Karachi and all over Pakistan for various specialties, ranging from primary care to specialty care, including home health services and door-to-door blood and other sample collection services. AKUH is not only highly accredited but has a qualified medical team and faculty which is known to be the best in the country.

Telehealth services at AKUH are offered at cost-effective prices and no compromise on quality is tolerated when providing medical treatment to those in remote areas of Pakistan.

Telehealth services at AKUH have been highly effective in a developing country like ours, where the need for teleconsultation is crucial. Most of the remote and rural areas in Pakistan suffer from a lack of healthcare access. The reasons being poverty, no hospitals, lack of trained doctors in remote areas, transportation arrangements required to go, and harsh, unpredictable weather. Medical advice from a tele-clinic in Karachi could help provide safe and timely medical assistance, all the way in another part of the country.

Telehealth services in Pakistan are also a great way of providing physiotherapy services to patients in remote areas. It cuts down on travel and long waits in the waiting rooms. Its also more flexible with timings when scheduling appointments. Teleclinics in Pakistan are great for patients who have mobility issues, are too sick to travel or struggling with other health related issues.

All in all, telehealth services in Pakistan are a convenient, safe and highly effective way of providing medical assistance during a global pandemic.
