Speetar is a telehealth startup that is effectively combating against COVID-19 in Libya has been working to get established in Pakistan. The startup was successful in finding the active solutions against the COVID-19 in Libya and now it has incorporated in Pakistan.

According to the owner of this telehealth portal, this app can help drastically in fighting against COVID 19 in Pakistan as well.

Speetar was cofounded by Zohaib Akmal, Shoaib Akmal, and Asim Ajmal.

The patients can book online appointments with the doct9r and can get consultation video conference call. The doctors can recommend the applicable treatment to the patients without being in contact with them physically. Patients can also upload their medical history on the app so that before prescribing proper treatment plan physicians can peak through medical history.
