- for non-urgent medical issues that do not require physical examination;
- if you feel unwell while traveling abroad;
- for prescribing medication, issuing, or extending an e-prescription;
- to avoid potential exposure to additional viruses or infectious diseases (especially during seasonal epidemics or pandemics);
- if your condition makes it difficult to physically visit a medical institution.
