To register themselves for the service and to begin consultation, a patient should first book an appointment by contacting the call center or visiting the website, with the added option of requesting specific physicians. The service will cover all specialties.

With the introduction of telemedicine, we are making strategic investments in technology adoption to ensure that the patients continue to be able to access our medical experts despite the COVID-19 outbreak restricting travel. “
The services are available round the clock for registered patients and covered by insurance without pre-approvals. Doctors will also be able to prescribe medication which will be delivered from the American Hospital Dubai through Tele-Pharmacy service to the patients’ home.
