Kaieteur News – The Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GTT) recently engineered technological solutions to assist local tele-health business, OnCall Medical Solutions Inc., in combating the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As many businesses continue to offer online services in aid of flattening the COVID-19 curve, GTT has provided the support necessary to enable OnCall Medical Solutions Inc. to provide tele-health services in Guyana.
Through OnCall Medical Solutions Inc, patients can connect with and receive care from private healthcare providers at their convenience. Among the services offered are Health Management, House Calls, Blood Sampling, COVID-19 sampling and Tele-health service, where patients can consult with doctors via the telephone or through video apps.According to Public Relations Manager, Jasmin Harris, the technology company provides a combination of services to the company. These include the hosted PBX service, VOIP via SIP service and mmg+. “We are proud to announce that our hosted PBX service is enabling OnCall Medical Solutions Inc. to break barriers with its tele-health services. The impact of Coronavirus has challenged many businesses to become innovative – with reduced physical interactions companies were forced to develop ways to connect with their customers and it has been our pleasure to support OnCall’s initiative,” Harris said.
