Healthcare while abroad

Medical advice when your usual doctor is far away

Germany is a major destination for tourism, business, study and international work. Being away from your usual doctor can make it harder to know where to start when a new, urgent symptom appears.

Your Doctor Abroad offers a straightforward route to request information about an online consultation for eligible patients in Germany. A remote consultation can be useful for some problems, but not every condition can be diagnosed safely online. Local clinical requirements, clinician licensing and prescription rules must be considered for each patient.

Your Doctor Abroad is designed for people who may be travelling, studying, working or living away from home. You can describe your symptoms and circumstances through the booking process, and a clinician can decide whether a remote consultation is suitable. This is different from immediate local medical service and does not replace local immediate local medical care.

Common reasons people ask for help

What an online consultation may cover

Suitability is assessed individually. Examples include everyday symptoms, medication questions and follow-up concerns that can be discussed safely by video.

Everyday symptoms

Coughs, colds, sore throat, allergies, headaches, stomach symptoms, minor skin problems and other common complaints may sometimes be assessed remotely.

Medication questions

Discuss a medication concern, a treatment question or a follow-up issue. Any prescribing decision depends on clinical assessment and applicable local rules.

Follow-up care

If you already have a diagnosis or treatment plan, a clinician may be able to discuss progress and next steps when remote review is clinically appropriate.

Request a consultation in a few steps

1. Tell us where you are

Provide your current location, preferred language and a short description of what you need help with.

2. Continue on WhatsApp

Before you book

Important limits of online care

Not every health problem can be diagnosed or treated online. A clinician may recommend a local clinic, pharmacy, diagnostic service or hospital or local clinic if examination, testing or immediate treatment is needed. Prescription decisions are made by the clinician and are subject to the law and professional requirements that apply to the patient and clinician.
