Here’s what you need to know about seeing a doctor in South Africa.
South Africans can’t afford to waste time and money on basic medical care anymore.
Just to see a doctor you need to take almost half a day off work, book an appointment for some indeterminate time in the future, then pay to travel to the doctor’s rooms, where you have to sit in a waiting room, even though you made an appointment.
It’s not effective in today’s world anymore.
But, fortunately, there’s a better way…
Udok is the latest in online consultation technology that lets you see a top SA doctor in under 5 minutes.
It’s super easy:
It’s kind of like speaking to a doctor on WhatsApp, but the Udok system is specially built for healthcare – it automatically gives you a doctor’s note, lab and specialist referrals and sends your prescription instantly to your nearest pharmacy (or the one you choose).
The best part? It’s also way cheaper than seeing a doctor in person…
Now, different doctors and hospitals charge different rates, so it’s never easy to get a complete picture of how much it costs to see a doctor in South Africa.
But we did some research recently, and it seems to cost on average between R500 and R550 to see a private doctor in South Africa (sometimes more or less depending on who you see and where they are).
Well, Udok makes that a lot cheaper by letting you see any doctor of your choice, from anywhere on your device, for just R348.
That’s 40% more affordable than the normal doctor’s fee.
And, with Udok, you have two choices for paying:

One of the biggest advantages of using the Udok platform to consult with doctors in South Africa is how well it works for managing prescriptions – once you’ve seen a doctor, they can have your meds sent straight to any pharmacy of your choice (normally the one closest to you).
