With the outbreak of COVID-19 in Pakistan, the Government officials lockdowned the country to control the spread of the virus. These closures have also included outpatient departments of all hospitals and private clinics, which led to many citizens experiencing uncertainty and panic about their health. 

Khyber Medical University Peshawar and InstaCare collaborated to enable digital healthcare in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. After this collaboration people of KPK will be able to access the quality, certified and authentic doctors through the platform.

With a team of over 300 doctors of almost every speciality, KMU started telehealth services. Now people can avail free of cost online medical checkup whenever and wherever they need. 

This initiative benefited a large number of people in remote and far flung areas of the province. It provided easy access to standard and best health facilities at home

InstaCare during the pandemic played a critical role in making Pakistan’s Healthcare Ecosystem accessible through telemedicine. Over 28,000 Patients till date have been served through the platform absolutely free during the pandemic.

This wonderful collaboration  not only enabled the digital ecosystem in the healthcare industry of Pakistan especially KPK but also empowered the people of KPK with a tool that can help them get rid of quacks and fake doctors in the region. Not only this, caregivers have now better access to medical services providers to take better care of their family and loved ones.
