The process of going to a doctor in Egypt is very complicated
1- Searching for a good doctor in Egypt is a hard and hectic process.
2- Booking with the referred doctor requires having the clinic’s number that getting it is a uniquely complicated exercise.
3- Calling the clinic to book where nobody answers you except from the third or fourth attempt.
4- Waiting time in the clinic is the tragedy of healthcare in Egypt, Two hours is he average time agreed by the majority of the doctors in Egypt.
Vezeeta has solved the previous four problems and made the booking experience with any doctor to be easy, enjoyable and fast.
Vezeeta, How does it work?
The patient visits vezeeta.com to find the best doctors in Egypt, and search by specialty, area, and doctor’s fees. He/she will find other patients’ reviews and ratings on each doctor.
- Vezeeta Website does not accept (reviews) except from “verified” patients, i.e: Patients who have booked their appointment at the doctor through www.vezeeta.com.
The site now contains more than 20,000 reviews and ratings that increases by more than 3,000 on a monthly basis.
- The patient can book automatically from the website by choosing the appropriate doctor and the suitable appointment available
- When the patient goes to the clinic on time, he/she will find his/her appointment with the doctor reserved under his/her name.
- The patient evaluates the waiting period in the clinic so that the other patients can book the doctors with less waiting time also they rate the medical service provided by the doctor
