During the previous financial crunches, people were worried only about their finances. But now it is different. On one side, the pandemic is spreading hot with no vaccines or cure. On another side, the GDP is going down and savings running out with no hopes or solutions. People aren’t interested in spending much.

This means that promotions such as the Black Friday Sales are bound to get a lot of attention from consumers who are keen to land a good deal on various goods and services.

To make access to health services easier and cheaper, The Medical Concierge Group (TMCG) Uganda has announced free teleconsultations for Rocket Health users starting from 6th Nov to the end of the month as part of the Black Friday Deals.

What is Tele-Consultation

A doctor, based in one location, gives consultation to a patient, who may or may not be supported by some other healthcare professional in a different location. The data needed by the the doctor to diagnose the patient is provided by the patient or a healthcare professional. Or both.

At Rocket health, teleconsultation with 24/7 access to instant medical care goes for UGX 10,000. Users have access to doctor consultations in the middle of the night even when they are out of town.
