Pakistan has one of the most abysmally low doctor-patient ratios worldwide. With just 0.81 physicians for every 1000 people in 2014 (according to the Pakistan Demographic Index 2018), no wonder quality medical advice is hard to come by. And if that wasn’t alarming enough, the Pakistan Medical Association believes that the number of quacks (fake medical practitioners) is as high as 600,000 people!
Quality medical care is an inalienable human right. And what better way to ensure access to expert medical opinion from qualified physicians and medical specialists around the world, especially for Pakistani patients? American Telephysicians’ online platform Shifa4U can help you in this regard.

Presenting American Teleclinic
As mentioned before, Pakistan faces an extreme crisis when it comes to having qualified and experienced medical professionals for its 200 million population.

In such a scenario, technological innovation holds the answer. Shifa4U’s American Teleclinic service allows you to consult with top medical and healthcare experts from the US for your needs.
You can schedule an appointment with a specialist of your choice online, and have a dedicated one-on-one consultation on medical cases. All you need to do is register for Shifa4U online. Premium American consultation on your medical issues doesn’t get simpler than this.

How Can You Avail American Telemedicine Services?
Currently, patients can get expert medical advice in one of the following ways:
- Offline Consultation
You submit your case accompanied by medical documents. The Shifa4U team reviews your case and if required, requests further tests/radiology. Once completed, your case is forwarded to the board of American Telephysicians group and referred to the relevant American consultant physicians. The consultant reviews the case and provides thorough consultation in written as well as video format.
- Online Consultation
Similar to offline consultation, you submit your case. After the case is reviewed by Shifa4U physicians as well as the Board of American Telephysicians, an online appointment with the relevant American consultant physician is scheduled. These conferences take place at a Shifa4U facility or Shifa4U partnered facility.
To make things simpler, you are assisted by a Shifa4U local Physician during your appointment so that you don’t have to worry about any language barriers, and ensure a thorough understanding of queries and recommendations without anything being lost in translation. A thorough recommendation is also provided in written form after the consultation.
With so many reasons, why not try Shifa4U today?
