Virtual Consultation

Provide remote doctor consultation through telemedicine, enabling nationwide and consistent access to clinical health care. Patients connect to doctors via online video chat, with digital transmission of medical imaging and health informatics.

Qatar’s medical infrastructure has been under pressure overgrowing population growth and the need to prepare for the upcoming events.

Technology can play a key role in reducing pressure on these medical facilities by shifting care from the hospital and the clinic remotely towards home.

About Maria

Maria just moved to Doha for the job of her dreams, together with her daughter, born just 6 months ago. Unfortunately, she has to stay away from her husband until he finds a new job in Doha. She’s found an apartment and settled down now, taking on a full-time job while making sure her baby grows up healthy. She’s hopeful and excited about this vibrant city.
