What is teleconsultation?

A doctor always by your side thanks to teleconsultation services

Moving abroad is a great adventure! Whether it be for a few months or for several years, you will experience lots of happy discoveries. However, going abroad may also be a source of concern, especially regarding your medical follow-up. Yet there are solutions easily available to assist you at any time during your expatriation.

How does teleconsultation work?

Wherever you are and at any time, you benefit from confidential video consultations with experienced practitioners specialized in many medical fields: general medicine, dermatology, cardiology, psychiatry or speech therapy.

In just a few clicks, you can receive answers to questions about your health, medical advice or an opinion or diagnosis. All practitioners are qualified, experienced, and trained to provide remote consultations. They strictly comply with the ethical and professional standards governing their practice. They are entitled to deliver international prescriptions and medical certificates, in accordance with local legislation.

Thanks to an international network covering all time zones, you can easily schedule your consultations when it suits you, regardless of your geographical location.
