This E-Prescription Policy establishes the legal, ethical, and clinical standards under which WebCare Hospital provides electronic prescriptions (e-prescriptions) through its digital healthcare platform.

Our goal is to ensure:

• Safe and appropriate prescribing 
• Full compliance with country-specific laws 
• Protection of patient health and privacy 
• Prevention of misuse, overprescribing, or unsafe care 

All e-prescriptions issued via WebCare Hospital must follow these universal rules:

• Prescriptions are issued only by doctors licensed in the patient’s country/region 
• Cross-border prescribing is not allowed unless legally permitted 

• A live consultation (video, phone) is required before prescribing 
• Prescribing based only on forms, chat, or questionnaires is not permitted 

➡️ This aligns with telehealth guidance where prescribing without real-time consultation is considered poor practice 

• Doctors must determine if telehealth is safe and suitable 
• If not, patients must be referred for in-person care 

➡️ Telehealth must meet the same standards as in-person care 

• No automatic prescriptions 
• No guaranteed medication supply 
• Clinical judgment overrides patient request

• Narcotics / opioids
