Q. Does ImmiHealth entail any short/long term, in-person or virtual, physician-patient interaction and/or relationship?

Q. At ImmiHealth, will there be any medical-decision making and evaluation of a patient's symptoms and determination of their diagnosis?
No, at ImmiHealth, there will be no medical-decision making and/or evaluation of a patient's symptoms and determination of their diagnosis. ImmiHealth is a health-technology platform, where people with poor/limited access to healthcare are expected to connect with free/affordable healthcare resources and gain education (virtually/in-person) on different topics in medicine, including diseases, infections, research, vaccinations, medical insurance, and so on. Any form of help that a person gains from ImmiHealth is totally voluntary - it is up to the person whether to accept/utilize the help or not; the person is NOT REQUIRED TO ACCEPT THE HELP.
Q. At ImmiHealth, how will accessing affordable healthcare resources work?
Anyone is welcome to utilize ImmiHealth's application to navigate and access affordable healthcare resources, including free health and migrant-friendly clinics. If the person chooses to access a resource, let's say they want to book an appointment with a health professional at a clinic, the app will show (in different languages) ways to book or request an appointment with the professional at the clinic/location where they are practicing. However, the patient-health professional interaction will be at the clinic (or the way the professional usually meets their patients), following the rules and regulations of the clinic and the company the medical professional is affiliated with. ImmiHealth will not be indulged in ANY WAY in providing a place (in-person/virtually) for the health professional-patient conversation/interaction/relationship.
Q. When will ImmiHealth start offering its services to people needing medical help?

In July of 2023, we will launch our app using which people will be able to benefit from our health services.
