Online consultations with patients are a must in the time of COVID-19

Many GPs have understood that their patients are extremely anxious about the risk of exposure to COVID-19 at their doctor’s rooms, and will avoid seeing their doctor even if they have a medical issue that requires attention. Dr Charlene de Greef, a GP based at Mayo Clinic in Johannesburg, has recently embraced online consultations, done through Discovery DrConnect, to allow her to continue to care for existing patients and to manage patients who develop possible symptoms of COVID-19 in a way that keeps everyone’s risk of exposure to the disease at a minimum. Find out why DrConnect has become an invaluable tool in managing all patients in the time of COVID-19.
