Through it, international patients are able to get in touch easily and quickly with Austrian doctors of international stature, who answered them openly and completely to all questions and recommended the appropriate treatment. Some patients already had the post-treatment consultation and were very satisfied with the result, as well as with the whole experience. Against the background of the Covid-19 pandemic, telemedicine has made rapid legislative progress, both in terms of the regulatory framework and the addressability of patients to online consultations. We expect the number of people who will schedule consultations in the WPK Online Healthcare Center virtual clinic to maintain its growth trend in the coming months, ”said Ema Hafner, Director of the International Marketing and Patients Department at Wiener Privatklinik.
