FAQs
Medikea is suitable for anyone seeking affordable and convenient high-quality treatment for non-emergent medical issues; or medical advice, prescriptions, referral letters, sick notes or second opinion on a pre-existing condition. Our services are provided by trusted and experienced medical doctors who can treat almost anything that they can in a traditional face-to-face environment - minus the waiting, or travelling.
However, if you are below the age of 16, you must be accompanied by an adult (your parent / guardian) during your video consultation at all times. You must also be registered under your parent's / guardian's Medikea account prior to commencement of your online consultation.
All of Medikea Doctors are licensed and registered with the Medical Council of Tanganyika (MCT), the organisation responsible for overseeing medical doctors in the Tanzania. They're experienced in treating a wide range of conditions, and can help with almost everything your regular doctor could in a physical clinic or hospital.
We only hire only 10% of applicants, choosing those who patient-centred care is there top priority in practice. Each doctor or nurse practitioner undergoes an extensive background check and license verification process.
If you ask one of your doctor friends whether they treat their close family and friends over the phone, the answer will be “yes”.
Medikea is a way that lets us all have access to high quality care just as conveniently.
Online consultations are very much like the traditional clinic visits you have experienced already. Your doctor would ask you your age, allergies and previous conditions. You would then discuss the symptoms you have been experiencing, for how long and whether those symptoms are getting better or worse.
In the event the doctor feels they don't have the information necessary to treat you online, they will inform you that a physical examination is required and to visit a doctor at a clinic or hospital.
The American Medical Association has found that nearly 75% of regular doctor visits can be handled effectively through video or audio consultations.
In fact, in a meta-analysis in of over 90 peer-reviewed clinical trials conducted by Cochrane - a leading global collective of medical researchers - telemedicine was found to be effective or similar outcomes as face-to-face visit.
This form of healthcare delivery has gained global acceptance and is in wide use in countries including the US, the UK, India, Indonesia, the UAE, Uganda, and Rwanda.
Our prices are less than a traditional doctor visit because we have created efficient ways to bring the cost of healthcare down and make quality healthcare affordable to everyone.
Compared with traditional physical hospitals or clinics where they have alot of overhead costs electricity, water bills, papers, non-medical staff e.t.c which are unrelated with direct patient care, our technology enables us to significantly reduce administrative costs which are not related with providing you with the best care, and we pass all those savings to you. We believe with the technology that we are building and the more people use Medikea services, we can keep lowering the costs of care and make it even more affordable.
Please note that we currently only offer medicine delivery and at-home lab tests in Dar es salaam (Ilala and Kinondoni). To request medicine delivery and/or mobile lab after your online consultation on Medikea, follow these steps:
At Medikea, our patients have the option to interact with us through their preferred channels. This gives our patients maximum flexibility to meet their needs throughout their day.
For example, when commuting to work our patients often choose a phone call as it is more convenient when they are driving. During the workday chat is often preferred as privacy is not always easy to find in the workplace. Back athome in the evening our patients usually choose video chat.
