Given the situation of the COVID-19, if there is one thing that all of us are majorly concerned about as of now is what to do next. Which medicine should I opt for? What are the kinds of vaccines that are available in the healthcare departments? What are the signs that I should look forward to, in case I have been affected by the disease? How can I prevent further spread from my family or friends? Mild symptoms or Common Cold? The list goes on and on. But this platform gives a break to our vast thoughts, handing out a second opinion before the next crucial step: MDtok.
With the healthcare system trying their level best to battle the disease, this platform answers all your queries on time. It goes hand in hand by reducing the strain on the healthcare systems and giving answers to the one in need.
Established on May 1, 2021, MDtok is an healthcare platform brought out by Dr. Abhijeet Nakave, MD and Founder, with more than 400 doctors around the globe providing free second opinion and consultations. One can just get a free consultation by registering their name and addressing their health issues from medical experts and professionals. These doctors are from countries such as the USA, UK, UAE, Singapore, Canada, who have carried out more than 30,000 consultations so far.
The US-Indian based doctor says, “Being born and brought up in India, I was really concerned and cared more towards my country. Although the platform was set up long ago, I took the help of technology experts and doctors from areas such Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Bengaluru and thought about establishing it in the time of COVID-19 crisis. This would further help the health care systems and clear any medical related doubts with the patients.”
The healthcare platform has bagged 3 million visitors already, with their easy and accessible consultation for treatment plan or just a second opinion. The consultation is available in languages such as Marathi, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, English, available only for online consultations and not for emergency treatments.
What services does MDtok provide?
A person can either consult a specialist for a second opinion to get the answers within a few hours. One should upload their reports and ask questions before the appointment. This way, any health issue will be resolved efficiently. Dr. Abhijit says, “I always stated the following principles: Fear, Counselling, and Grief. These are the three things that need to be given to the patients to cope up with the pandemic and create more awareness about such disease. It was through the help of all the doctors around the world and was spread solely through word of mouth. It’s been a tough time and we can surely surpass this if we are all in this together.” With the increasing number of cases in the rural areas of our country, he wishes that the platform can be given more prominence at the local level by various NGOs and social service organisations.
With our country being most affected by the COVID-19, it’s always best to be prepared for the dos and don’ts with the medical requirements and treatment. One can also easily opt for a treatment plan and find a specialist and visit them at the clinic. On the other hand, any of the specialists can be reached by booking on a desired date and time and have an live audio-visual consultation. So if you have got any queries now, you know what to do!
