Trusted Online Doctors – Get Reliable Medical Advice from PMDC-Verified Physicians

Why Trust Matters When Choosing an Online Doctor in Pakistan

When it comes to your health, trust is everything. In an era of digital healthcare, knowing that the doctor on the other end of your screen is qualified, certified, and reliable is not just important—it's essential. In Pakistan, the Pakistan Medical & Dental Council (PMDC) is the statutory regulatory authority responsible for certifying and licensing medical and dental practitioners.

With over 366,443 total registered practitioners nationwide, including 40,920 dental practitioners and 325,523 medical practitioners, the PMDC maintains a comprehensive registry where patients can search for any doctor by Registration Number, Full Name or Father Name to verify license validity and registered qualifications. This ensures complete transparency and accountability.

The PMDC has also launched an online system for registration, certificate issuance and verification, with the entire process now completed within three to four days. Since May 2024, 173,373 applications out of 175,738 received have been successfully processed, demonstrating the Council's commitment to efficiency and transparency.

The Sindh Telemedicine and Telehealth Act 2021 (STTA) is a first-of-its-kind legislation that requires all healthcare professionals providing telehealth services to register with the government and be designated as "Registered Medical Practitioners" (RMPs). This ensures that every online consultation you have is with a legally authorised, properly certified professional.

Services like Tele-Tabeeb 1123, operational since August 2021, have built trust through consistent service—handling over 621,000 calls and connecting patients to PMDC-certified doctors and licensed mental health professionals. This demonstrates that trusted online healthcare is not just a concept—it's a reality in Pakistan.
