Key capabilities include:

• Online assessments and doctor consultations for conditions across weight loss, skincare, women’s health, men’s health, sexual health, and general health (including virtual GP consults).
• Prescription-based treatment pathways guided by licensed South African doctors, with treatment determined according to clinical guidelines and patient needs.
• Medication dispensing and delivery via SAPC-registered pharmacy partners, with discreet door-to-door delivery.
• Ongoing support for longer-term care, including health coach support for weight loss, automatic refills for chronic services, and support for medical aid claims.

Available on Web.

Target users include individuals in South Africa seeking private, convenient access to care for weight management (including GLP-1 programmes), acne and rosacea, birth control and menopause support, erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, STI-related care, UTIs, thrush, hair loss, acid reflux, and cold sores.

Notable in the local market for connecting patients with HPCSA-registered doctors and regulated pharmacy dispensing, and for consolidating telehealth access across Zapmed and Contro (contro.co.za) under one set of online treatment services.
