4 Easy steps, done in 5 minutes plus you save 40% on normal doctor’s fees – this is how to see an emergency doctor over the holidays in South Africa
The holiday season is a time for joy and celebration. But it can also bring unexpected health concerns – especially if you’re on holiday and far away from your family doctor.
Finding a good emergency doctor during this busy period can be tough. That's where Udok comes in – offering a swift, efficient solution for South Africans on holiday in need of urgent medical attention.
During the holidays, immediate access to a General Practitioner (GP) can be crucial. With the Udok app, you're just a few taps away from professional medical advice and care.
In just 4 steps that take about 5 minutes, you can see a doctor remotely, via any device from anywhere in South Africa. It’s the best, fastest and cheapest way to see a GP in an emergency while you’re on holiday. Also see how to get a prescription in SA.
First things first, head over to the Udok App. Here, you can either register for a new account or log in if you're already registered (in which case, skip straight to step 4). The process is straightforward and user-friendly.
Security is key. Once you register, we’ll send you a verification email that you just need to click to verify your email address. This ensures secure and reliable communication between you and the Udok team.
To provide you with the best care, Udok requires some basic personal information. (Don’t worry, it’s just a few questions, very quick to complete.) This helps us personalise your consultation and address your needs accurately.
Finally, request a consultation. The process is unbelievably quick; one of our doctors will see you in minutes.
The entire process is remarkably efficient, taking about 5 minutes – much faster than driving to a clinic or hospital. And the cost? Just R348. That's 40% cheaper than the average private medical consultation in South Africa. Learn more about how much online doctor consultations cost.
