No. Your doctor contacts you by phone call or WhatsApp video call on the number you provide when booking. You do not need a DrCall account.
What if my connection is poor in Athea?
Tell the doctor straight away. A normal phone call usually works even where video does not, and your doctor can call you back if the line drops.
