Online Paediatric Doctor Consultation in Pakistan
A parent or legal guardian must be present for any consultation about a child. A doctor registered with the Pakistan Medical & Dental Council can assess many non-emergency childhood illnesses by video, but this service is conservative — when in doubt, the doctor will advise in-person care.
Consultation fee: Rs. 2,500. Shown before you confirm and pay.
What we can help with
Non-emergency concerns such as coughs and colds, rashes, conjunctivitis, mild fever with otherwise well child, hay fever, and advice on whether your child needs to see someone in person.
A parent or guardian must be visible and available throughout the consultation.
- Coughs, colds and sore throats
- Rashes (where assessable on video)
- Conjunctivitis advice
- Hay fever
- School absence certificates where clinically appropriate
When not to use telemedicine for a child
Do not use DrPak for a child who is very unwell, lethargic, has difficulty breathing, persistent high fever in a young infant, signs of dehydration, a non-blanching rash, seizure, or any situation where you would normally call 15 or go to an emergency department.
Babies under three months with fever need urgent in-person assessment — call your doctor out-of-hours service or attend emergency care.
How it works
Book a slot, ensure a parent or guardian is present, and have the child available on camera. The doctor will assess whether remote care is safe or whether in-person review is needed.
What this service does not cover
- Emergency or severely unwell children — call 115 or 112.
- Physical examination of infants and young children where video is insufficient.
- Vaccinations or immunisations.
- Guaranteed school certificates.
Frequently asked questions
- Does a parent need to be present?
- Yes. A parent or legal guardian must be present and consent to the consultation throughout.
- Can my child get a medical certificate for school?
- Where clinically appropriate after assessment, a doctor may issue a medical certificate. This is at the doctor's discretion.
- What age children can you see?
- The doctor will assess whether video consultation is appropriate for the child's age and condition. Some cases will always be directed to in-person care.
