EktaMed – About Us

Vision

To be the preferred facilitator of affordable, accessible and quality global healthcare services to our Patient community.

Guiding Philosophy

Ektamed and Orange Medilink are global healthcare services facilitators. Our key driver is to realize our vision and to provide premier healthcare services when you, the Patient, needs it.

As facilitators we do not provide medical advice whatsoever to any Patient enquiry. Our facilitation service included pairing the potential Patient to a healthcare facility in the Patients country of choice and the healthcare professional at that facility. Our pairing facilitation service is based on information provided by the patient on the enquiry form regarding healthcare service required and preferred country for treatment. This includes requests for healthcare procedures and second opinion consultations. This pairing service is provided free of cost by Ektamed at this time.

Once the pairing is completed by both the potential patient and his/her local healthcare service provider with the healthcare service facility and the healthcare professional at that facility a direct relationship would exist between the parties. All costs and booking for the healthcare procedure to be done and/or the second opinion required will occur directly between the patient and the healthcare facility and healthcare professional. All payments must be to the healthcare facility and healthcare professional directly.

Our facilitation partner – Orange Medilink can assist with additional patient requirements like arranging travel, accommodation, local transport for the person accompanying the Patient and for the Patient if required to do so.
