DoctorOnCall is a Malaysian-based telehealth provider and online pharmacy.[1][2] It provides virtual medical consultations via phone calls, video conferences, and text messaging. Additionally, it offers access to board-certified doctors for non-emergency and non-life-threatening medical issues. DoctorOnCall was established in 2016 by former management consultants Maran Virumandi and Hazwan Najib.[3]

Users can opt for consultations via video or phone, with an average waiting time of five to seven minutes. The service is designed to issue medical prescriptions when necessary, following the consultation.

DoctorOnCall also provides a medication delivery service in Malaysia, including same-day delivery in areas such as the Klang Valley and Penang island.
