The problem today

Your records stay behind
every time you move on

The South African healthcare system is fragmented. Each practice keeps their own records — and those records are theirs, not yours.

person_off
Starting from zero, every time
Every new doctor asks the same questions from scratch. Your history — conditions, allergies, medications — stays trapped at your last practice.
science
Paying for tests you've already had
Blood results, X-rays, scans — all still sitting at another practice. With no way to share them, you repeat tests you've already paid for.
emergency
Emergencies where no one knows your history
In a crisis, your allergies, chronic conditions and current medication are locked in a folder at a practice you haven't visited in two years.
One record, every door

The same complete record,
wherever you go

Your MedConsult record isn't tied to any practice. It belongs to you — and it follows you.

Your GP
Your record starts here
Your GP adds your consultation notes, diagnoses, scripts, and sick notes. Everything flows into your record in real time.
A specialist
Your full history is already there
You grant the specialist access with a tap. They see everything your GP added — no forms, no faxes, no repeating yourself.
An emergency
Critical information when it counts
Allergies, blood type, chronic conditions, current medication — all accessible to the treating doctor, even when you can't speak.
A new city
No starting from zero, ever again
Move cities, change doctors, see a locum — your complete record comes with you. Share it with a new practice in seconds.
Simple as three steps

How it works

No paperwork. No appointments. Ready to use in minutes.

Sign up free and build your health profile — add your history, chronic conditions, allergies, existing documents and test results.
  • Free for patients, always
  • Takes minutes to set up
  • Upload existing documents and results
02
Share on your terms
Grant a doctor access with a tap. Everything they add during your visit flows straight back into your record — automatically.

  • Their notes become part of your record
  • Revoke access any time, instantly
03
Carry it everywhere
Your record lives with you, not with any practice. Take it to any doctor anywhere in South Africa — it's always current, always complete.
  • Works with any MedConsult practice
  • Revoke access and it's gone from their view
  • Your own full file, always visible to you
You decide who sees what

Access is a permission
you give — and take back

For the doctors you visit

When patients arrive prepared, care improves

Doctors on MedConsult see your full picture from the first minute. Better history means better care.

Full picture on the first visit
No repeating your history from memory. Your doctor sees your complete record — conditions, medications, allergies, previous diagnoses — before you even sit down.
No chasing records between practices
When a specialist needs your GP notes, they're already there. Everything is in one place, updated in real time, without faxes or phone calls.
MedConsult also runs the practice
MedConsult is the complete practice management system for South African doctors — appointments, sick notes, prescriptions and billing, all in one place.
Built for privacy

Your health information
is yours by law

MedConsult is built around a single principle: your health record belongs to you, not to any practice that treated you.

gavel
POPIA
South African law gives you the right to your health information. The platform is built from the ground up around that right — not as an afterthought.
  • Your data is yours, full stop
  • Export your complete record at any time
  • POPIA compliant data handling throughout
shield
Security
Access permissions are enforced at the database level — not just hidden in the interface. Locked at database level means a doctor whose access is revoked cannot reach your data through any route.
  • Encrypted in transit and at rest
  • Access controlled at database level
  • Revocation is immediate and complete
visibility
Transparency
No hidden uses of your data. You can see exactly who has access to your record, what they've added, and when. We don't sell data or show ads — ever.
  • Full visibility of every access grant
  • No data selling, no advertising
  • Audit trail of all activity on your record

Take your health story with you

One record. Every doctor. Always yours.
