Here are some independent platforms you can consider for an online consultation.
What will you need? To get started, you’ll need a stable internet connection (such as Wi-Fi), a smart device with a camera and microphone (phone, tablet, laptop, or computer), and a quiet, private space where you can speak clearly with your provider. The platform will require your ID number, if you are from another country you will need to provide your passport number in some cases.
How do I pay? Most provides accept card payments upfront, ensure you have a debit or credit card on hand with the needed funds available. Each providers have different pricing models, but from our experience rates vary between R220 and R350 per consultation. Always confirm fees upfront before proceeding.
What if I get disconnected or signal is bad? You are interacting with an actual Medical Professional and not a robot. Most platforms can be called to retake the session, or expect a call-back on a mobile number to conclude the consultation.
Once completed with your consultation and your script needs to be filled, please have it sent or email the prescription to Badplaas Pharmacy at pharmacist@badplaaspharmacy.co.za
IMPORTANT! Video consults are not for emergencies. If you have a serious issue like chest pain or difficulty breathing, call emergency services or visit the nearest hospital immediately.
