Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) – At the initiative of the Ministry of Health, together with AskDoctor, a single integrator of UZINFOCOM, a project for the electronic clinic “Ask a Doctor” has been launched, operating in Uzbek and Russian.

In order to use this service, you need to go to the website at www.askdoctor.uz and go through registration, enter contact details and confirm the phone number. Next, choose a doctor in the direction and method of communication: chat, audio or video session.

In advance, or during communication, you can download images of questionnaires, extracts, that is, information that will help the doctor in preparing recommendations. After the consultation, a message will be sent to the phone about the recommendation written to you, which can be downloaded in your account on the website. The appointment is purely advisory in nature, based on the nature of the project - online consultation. A remote doctor cannot perform manipulations, take an analysis, measure temperature, pressure or pulse.

The service is available for every citizen of the Republic of Uzbekistan and is completely free for the period of quarantine events.

The platform is designed in such a way that it does not require the installation of special software and is accessible from any device that has an Internet browser (smartphone, tablet, laptop, personal computer). Please note that in your browser settings you must enable the site to use the microphone and webcam of the device.

Regarding quality and safety, all consultants are highly qualified doctors (including professors) who have undergone additional selection at the Ministry of Health. Soon, the function of connecting doctors who are at home and having the technical ability to provide medical advice will be implemented.

The site also has articles, recommendations and a medical encyclopedia. Before online consultation with a doctor, you can find answers to your questions.

It is very difficult to concentrate at the time of sudden pain or unpleasant symptoms, so register in advance at www.askdoctor.uz.

It is also necessary to remember that during a period of unfavorable sanitary and epidemiological situation in the country, consultations with doctors are free of charge, and dialogue with doctors should take place subject to a culture of communication, without insults and threats. Online consultation is not a complete treatment. If necessary, the consultant can call an ambulance or send an appointment with a doctor.

It is necessary to remind that the project is launched promptly and therefore will work in test mode for some time, therefore technical difficulties may arise, errors in the texts may be detected. It should also be noted that the number of doctors at the moment is not so large, and if there are no free consultants, then you should contact the service a little later.
