Rocket Health is a bundled service of The Medical Concierge Group, a licensed and registered clinic, laboratory and pharmacy.
We offer telemedicine healthcare services such as doctor consultations through phone calls, Whatsapp and SMS, laboratory sample pickups and medicine delivery at your convenience and from any location within Kampala.
Telemedicine signifies the use of information communication technology (ICT) to increase patient's access to medical care and information.
At Rocket Health, we offer health care services where distance, time and income is a critical factor. Our licensed health care professionals use Whatsapp, phone calls, SMS and email to exchange information for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease and injuries. This is all in the interest of advancing the health of individuals and their communities.
Our customers in Uganda and all over the world have referred to us as Whatsapp Doctors, Doctors-On-Call, Social Media Doctors and many more.
In recognition of this relationship, and as one of many steps to enhance our service delivery to our direct customers, we have introduced a new service that we have branded ‘ROCKET HEALTH’.
Under the name of our parent company, The Medical Concierge Group, we have provided telehealth services for multiple research and public health programs spanning over 50 districts in Uganda. This work has been in partnership with leading organisations like USAID, UNICEF, Ministry of Health, JSI, World Vision, Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI) as well as other international organisations.
