The Platform is owned and operated by Healthboxes Ltd, a company registered in Nigeria (company number 1242486).
Healthboxes enables individuals in Nigeria to connect in real time, via phone calls, chat and instant messaging to participating doctors (all of whom are registered) via the Platform for you to gain qualified and professional medical advice and be provided with related administrative services including referrals. If agreed with a Specialist, and where supported by Healthboxes, in consultation on the Platform, Customers may also purchase private prescriptions for certain medication(s) (collectively the “Services” or a “Service”).
Healthboxes may vary charges for any Services at any time, and changes will be notified to you in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
You expressly understand, accept and agree that when using the Platform, the Practitioners are independent medical professionals that are individually responsible for the medical advice they offer to you via the Platform.
Healthboxes is a connective platform that enables Customers to consult with Practitioners on a private and self-pay basis from time to time. You will be presented with your options regarding medical record sharing before you start your first consultation on the Platform and the choice to share your medical records is entirely yours.
Prescriptions will only be issued by Practitioners under circumstances that are appropriate, legal, responsible and as the result of discussion and mutual agreement between you and the Practitioner.
Healthboxes will make all reasonable endeavours to connect you to Practitioners, subject to minimum specification requirements which are determined by Healthboxes from time to time:
Operating System
Windows 7, 8, 10
Mac® OS X 10.8.5 and newer
Andr class=oid™ 4.4.4 and newer
Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 10
Mac OS X 10.6 and newer
iOS

Consultation times are subject to change and are only made available to Customers at the sole discretion of Healthboxes. If you require medical advice and Healthboxes is inaccessible or there are no appointments available to suit you; you miss an appointment you have made or start a connection that fails; or attend an appointment that has been cancelled or when a Practitioner is not available, understand and agree that it is your sole responsibility to seek appropriate alternative medical advice from alternative service providers, that you are registered with.
Furthermore, Healthboxes and the Practitioners are not responsible for any legal prescriptions provided to you that Registered Pharmacies refuse to dispense. You accept that it remains an individual Pharmacist’s right to refuse to fulfil any prescription and/or dispense medications when presented with a legal prescription. None of this affects your legal rights.
You accept and agree that any medical advice offered and/or diagnosis provided by a Practitioner is based on your recall and description of the symptoms affecting you and/or by reliance on personal health data that you authorise us to obtain/that you provide to us by way of uploading such information to the Platform. A very significant part of the medical advice/diagnosis you may receive is based on the information that you supply. It is entirely your responsibility to honestly present information when questioned in as much detail as possible.
You warrant without exception that any information you provide is honest, legitimate and an accurate representation of any situation as you see it. With regard to information you provide from other service providers or otherwise upload to the Platform, you confirm that such additional information is accurate, legally provided and has not been tampered with.
You understand and accept that you may choose to give access only to certain portions of your medical information, but that by doing so this may determine with the care you receive from Practitioners and/or your care generally.
You understand and agree that you may NOT under any circumstances amend, alter or tamper with the contents of any documents created on the Platform and/or issued to you via the Platform.
At any time, you may be notified that information available for your review is considered private and possibly time-sensitive, so you should consider ease of access when determining which email address, you use for your Account.
You are obliged to advise us of the following as soon as reasonably possible:
We do not currently charge for consultations.
Subject to availability, you can choose to book Sessions in advance, which we refer to as Appointment Booking. After you have requested an Appointment you will be sent written confirmation of the Appointment in the form of an email; if you do not receive such confirmation within 24 hours of requesting your Appointment (or, if sooner, within 4 hours of the start of your intended Appointment) please Contact Us to check we have received your booking request.
Healthboxes will advise you by email as soon as possible if it has to amend, change or cancel any Session that you have booked.
You understand and accept there is no guarantee whatsoever that you will be issued or provided with a prescription for any medication and acknowledge that the issuing of any prescription is at the sole discretion of the consulting Practitioner, subject to the limitations applied by Healthboxes.
You understand and agree that any prescriptions you acquire via the Platform are solely for your personal use. Furthermore, you agree carefully to read all information provided to you and to follow the instructions provided by the Practitioner(s), on the prescription(s) itself (the label applied by the pharmacy) or otherwise, prior to taking any of the prescribed medicines. You also hereby agree to contact a Practitioner, another doctor or a pharmacist if you have any questions or do not fully understand the reasons you have been prescribed any medication or the instructions related to the medication.
You accept and agree that Healthboxes charges administration fees for every prescription issued via the Platform, as explained. You understand and agree that you must pay this fee prior to a prescription being delivered by a Practitioner and that once delivered to you this fee is non-refundable.
Your doctor is making a referral to a Hospital for you at your request. Whilst your doctor feels that this referral is appropriate, different organizations and bodies all have different procedures and guidelines in place that may restrict the services they are able to offer. Healthboxes therefore accepts no responsibility if your referral is declined for any reason by the receiving hospital or entity.
By accepting this charge you confirm that you have read the above and accept that we can not be held responsible either financially or medically if your referral is declined. You also confirm that you have given a full and accurate history to your doctor and have not with held any information that you feel may be relevant to your referral or may affect the chance your referral may be accepted.
We will of course do our best to make sure you receive the care we feel you need and hope you start feeling better soon.
