Free Online Medical Consultations in Ukraine: A Lifeline for Patients
Free Online Medical Consultations Launched in Ukraine Ukraine is expanding access to healthcare with the launch of free online medical consultations through the Telegram chat of the Saint Panteleimon Clinic. The initiative, spearheaded by clinic director Volodymyr Pocheluyev, aims to overcome geographical barriers and provide convenient access to medical advice for all Ukrainians, regardless of location. "The cost of consultations in our online chat is free," stated Pocheluyev in a recent video interview. "We created this online chat and platform, considering the challenges people face today, to make it easier for people to access care, even if they are unable to travel to the clinic." The Telegram chat offers a 24/7 service, allowing patients to ask questions at any time. For more complex issues, the chat administrator can connect patients with specialized medical professionals for personalized attention. This innovative approach to healthcare delivery is a significant step toward ensuring accessible and affordable medical care for all Ukrainians, particularly those in remote regions or those who have been displaced by the ongoing conflict.
