Need Medical Care Urgently? Video Consultation Within Minutes, Doctor at Your Home in One Hour with Speedoc.
Have an urgent medical need? Call Speedoc any time of the day because we are available 24/7!
Be it a cut or burn that needs care and dressing, sudden fever, food poisoning or your child developing a rash, Speedoc is here for all your urgent care needs. Get connected to a Speedoc doctor within minutes through a teleconsultation to get medical help or clarify doubts and concerns. After your teleconsultation, if the doctor determines that your condition requires a physical consultation with a doctor or nurse, our medical professionals will arrive at your home within 60 minutes. Alternatively, you could skip the teleconsultation and request for a house visit straightaway.

What treatment is offered?
Here are some of the treatments we provide right at home so you don’t have to visit a clinic or hospital.
Medication
Bandaging
Wound cleaning and dressing
IV (Intravenous) drips
Stitches
Draining pus
Blood tests
Catheter administration
For conditions such as a cough, flu, or viral infection, oral medication would usually suffice to treat your condition. However, for special cases, such as dehydration from sun exposure or diarrhoea and vomiting, it is important to replenish the fluids in your body as much as possible. While unnecessary for most cases, if you’re finding it hard to drink clear fluids for hydration, an IV drip would be the best solution to prevent further dehydration.

How much does it cost?
A house visit from a Speedoc doctor starts at $150, while teleconsultations are a flat rate of $20 nett. Any medicines, lab tests are charged additionally. The fees for getting treated at home for urgent medical needs are similar to if you were to be treated in a hospital, but there is more value in terms of comfort and convenience as we bring the hospital to the home.
