BIMA Doctor commenced operations in 2015 and has grown its active customer’s base to 40,000 in the past years. With as little as GH¢2 per month, BIMA Doctor Subscribers can enjoy unlimited calls to a doctor or physician assistant to seek medical advice over the phone.
The service also covers spouses and children under 18 years, making BIMA a family product.
Christina Tuemmers, Health Division manager explained “In Ghana, it is common to have to travel considerable distance or sacrifice hours waiting in a clinic before seeing a doctor. This and the cost of consultations often prevents people from seeking medical help. BIMA Doctor saves customers money on transportation, consultation and lost income for the day as it provides immediate medical advice before health condition worsens. In addition, customers can maintain a complete peace of mind knowing that they have a doctor on call,” the statement said.
