Mobile Doctors uses Cisco's high-definition mobile telemedicine system to enhance access to quality healthcare in MENA

The Cisco TelePresence VX Clinical Assistant, deployed for the first time ever in the Middle East, will enable Mobile Doctors to high quality care, to any location, without need for an appointment. The service offered allows everyone - whether in their workplace, their community or at a local clinic - to have immediate 'real-life' virtual 'in-person' access to a local, licensed doctor at any time, 365 days a year without the need to make an appointment or wait in an emergency room queue. Mobile Doctors services are provided at a cost that is a fraction of a traditional clinic or hospital visit, making them highly cost effective for patients, employers, payers and government.
