“The patients have to dial 1800-889-2729, which is s toll-free number and get the consultation. The service remains active round the clock and patients are being attended by the doctors from different time zones,” they said.

Doctors based in Jammu and Kashmir provide consultation to patients from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, doctors from Saudi Arabia from 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm, doctors from the United Kingdom from 10:00 pm to 2:00 am and USA based doctors provide consultation from 2:00 am to 8:00 am.

The member said that services like Endocrinology, Nephrology, Psychiatry, Dermatology, Cardiology are available and consultants from Kashmir and other places provide their time and space to serve humanity.
