Long queues at medical facilities in Kenya is a common sight that is dreaded by almost every sick person. Patients, even those in excruciating pain, have often been forced to endure long hours waiting for doctors' attention.
The tedious process will now be a thing of the past as HealthGuide Kenya has stepped in with the ultimate solution.
The Tech startup company has developed a website that allows any person to search for a certified medical practitioner and book an appointment using a mobile phone.
Upon logging on to healthguide.co.ke, one is able to access the doctor's calendar, check the practitioner's availability then schedule an appointment at a preferred time.
The new platform is considered a breakthrough for anyone with a medical insurance plan as they will be able to find doctors and dentists in various specialties at different locations within the country.
In case you are at an unfamiliar location and urgently need medical attention, healthguide.co.ke also provides a search map for locating doctors within the vicinity.
The platform further outlines credentials of medical specialists hence solving the problem of fake practitioners.
HealthGuide Kenya is set to improve how patients and doctors access and interact with each other. Doctors in private practice can also log in and provide their details.
