How can doctors get telemedicine support from specialists such as Dr. Purkayastha for their patients?

Asked by Dr. Bills

There are two routes. First, a doctor shares the patient case with the Jivo team over WhatsApp; the team collects and documents the medical information, shares it with the specialist for review, returns the specialist's comments, and organises a joint consultation call on Google Meet, Zoom or WhatsApp based on the availability of the specialist, the doctor and the patient. Second, every month there are pre-agreed Connect Clinic slots with each specialty, for example in the last week of April, into which doctors can align their patients. Urgent cases do not need to wait for the monthly schedule: a video call can be arranged quickly. No app is needed, since Zoom, Google Meet and WhatsApp do the job.
