Why Docseeyou?

Docseeyou puts a network of doctors and care providers at your fingertip.

There has been a pervasive lack of primary healthcare in sub-Saharan Africa, with millions suffering from diseases that are relatively simple to prevent, treat, and cure. With the arrival of Covid-19, the lack of access to care is even more pronounced and has increased the gap between doctors/medical service providers and people in need of care. This situation has created a tremendous need for alternative ways to deliver care to those who need it the most.

In these difficult times, people are afraid to go to the clinic because of the risk of exposing themselves and their families to Covid-19 and other diseases. Imagine the terror and anxiety of sitting in a clinic’s waiting room with patients who are coughing and sneezing, etc.?

The Docseeyou platform offers a perfect solution that conveniently connects people with doctors and clinicians to do virtual consultation at home, without the risk of being exposed to Covid-19 or other diseases.

Is Docseeyou a tool for Coronavirus (COVID-19) assessment?

The guidelines on handling Covid-19 symptoms require that if one has symptoms, he/she should call a given hotline. A health team will come to collect samples from the suspected patient to test for Covid-19. If someone has symptoms and goes to a clinic, the staff at the clinic will most likely take cover and refrain from assessing that person since most clinics do not have the proper infrastructure for handling Covid-19 cases. This causes a major challenge to the fight against Covid-19 infection management.

With Docseeyou, if you notice any symptoms, you can access medical practitioners online for Covid-19 assessment and professional guidance. Medical practitioners are always better equipped to give professional guidance on your medical symptoms and the course of action to be taken. Your symptoms may be related to medical conditions unrelated to Covid-19.

What are the Symptoms of Coronavirus (COVID-19)?

The most commonly reported symptoms of COVID-19 are: fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties.

How Can I Prevent the Spread of COVID-19 and Avoid Getting Sick?

The best way to avoid getting sick is to stay away from people who are known to be infected, frequently wash your hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds, refrain from touching your face (eyes, mouth and nose), and wash all common touch surfaces with soap or disinfectant. If you are sick, avoid contact with all other people and animals to prevent the spread and seek medical attention.

Should I get Tested for COVID-19?

Due to the national shortage of testing kits, not everyone can get tested for COVID-19. If you are displaying symptoms and are an at-risk individual or live with someone who is an at-risk individual, you may be able to get testing.
