Select your location and relevant specialty, and select your language. Choose a doctor based on their availability, price and location and select the time that suits you in the agenda.

After the fourth step in the booking process you will see a message displayed that says: “Your request for an appointment has been registered.” If in doubt, you can always find all your current appointments in ‘My Profile’. You will also receive an email and an SMS to confirm the date, time and location of your appointment. A reminder SMS will be sent to you two hours before your appointment.
You can cancel or reschedule your appointment at anytime on www.TripMedic.com. To do this, go to the website, log in and go to ‘My Profile’ and then ‘appointments’, where you can move the appointment to another time or cancel it. Please try to cancel or change your appointment at least 3 hours in advance, so that our doctors can adjust their schedules or report it directly to our experience team through WhatsApp

I’m unable to complete the appointment process through the platform. What should I do?
We’ll get back to you promptly.
