Teleconsultation consent information

Audio/video and information you provide are used for clinical assessment. You may ask questions, request clarification or withdraw from a consultation.

You may be asked to confirm identity, age, contact details and your physical location in India. Accurate location is important if urgent local help becomes necessary.

Remote assessment cannot replace every physical examination, investigation or in-person observation. Dr. Hazare may recommend local emergency care, an in-person review, laboratory testing or another clinician when appropriate.

Join from a quiet private place and use a device you trust. Relevant clinical records, consent and prescriptions may need to be maintained as required professionally and legally. Confidentiality has exceptions where disclosure is required by law or immediate safety concerns.

A prescription, diagnosis or particular treatment is never automatic. Any recommendation depends on clinical appropriateness, available information and telemedicine rules.

Proceeding to book and participating in the consultation indicates that you understand the online format, have had the opportunity to ask questions and consent voluntarily. Formal consent may also be confirmed at the appointment.
