Fallego.com is a Pakistan-based digital healthcare platform that connects patients with licensed doctors for online and in-person medical consultations. Founded in Karachi, Pakistan, Fallego offers general physician access at affordable rates as well as specialist consultations across a wide range of medical fields. The platform aims to make healthcare more accessible by combining telemedicine, digital health services, and hospital partnerships in major cities.

History

edit

Fallego was established in 2024 with the vision of bridging the gap between patients and healthcare providers in Pakistan, particularly in under-served communities where access to qualified doctors remains limited. The founders identified rising healthcare costs, shortage of reliable doctors in rural areas, and increasing reliance on digital platforms as key reasons to build an integrated online medical service.

Initially, Fallego launched with a general physician teleconsultation service priced at just Rs. 200, making it one of the lowest-cost telemedicine services in Pakistan. The affordability factor helped the company quickly reach users in rural and semi-urban communities.

By 2024, Fallego expanded its network to include over 55 in-hospital doctors across Karachi, covering specialties such as dermatology, gynecology, orthopedics, nephrology, and general medicine. Its hybrid model combining online appointments with in-hospital visits, positioned it as a trusted healthcare partner in Pakistan’s growing digital health industry.

Services

edit

Fallego.com offers a variety of healthcare services designed to meet patient needs in both digital and physical settings:

1. General Physician Consultations

Fallego’s most popular service is its Rs. 200 online general physician consultation on call. Available 24/7, the service allows patients from any part of Pakistan to connect with licensed doctors via phone or video call. This low-cost initiative aims to promote early diagnosis and timely treatment, especially in communities with limited access to medical facilities.

2. Specialist Consultations

Beyond general physicians, Fallego connects patients with specialists in fields such as:

  • Dermatology (including services from Dr. Afzal Lodhi, one of Pakistan’s most recognized dermatologists)
  • Gynecology & Obstetrics (e.g., Dr. Rukhsana Mughal, FCPS & American Board, with over 20 years of experience)
  • Orthopedics (e.g., Dr. Syed Imran Ali Shah, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon and head of A.O. Hospital Karachi)
  • Nephrology (e.g., Dr. Anita Haroon, Internal Medicine Specialist and Nephrologist)

3. Hospital-Based Consultations

Fallego has partnerships with hospitals in Karachi where patients can schedule in-person appointments through the platform.

4. Surgical Care

The platform also facilitates surgical treatments, such as gallbladder stone operations, appendix operation, Ceaserian, Gynaecomestia and hair transplant surgery. Patients are guided from initial diagnosis through surgery and post-surgical follow-up care.

5. Preventive Healthcare and Awareness

Fallego regularly publishes **health blogs, infographics, and educational campaigns** to raise awareness on topics such as heat safety, childhood diarrhea, nutrition, and women’s health. Their teams are constantly visiting public and private hospitals for meeting patients and guiding them. Several videos are present in their Youtube, Tiktok, Instagram and facebook channel.

Market and Impact

edit

Pakistan has one of the lowest doctor-to-patient ratios in South Asia, with healthcare access being especially difficult in rural areas. Fallego’s Rs. 200 consultation model directly addresses affordability, while its growing network of verified doctors builds patient trust.

By mid-2025, Fallego reports serving thousands of patients in Karachi and across Pakistan through both digital and in-hospital services. Its hybrid approach has made it a notable competitor in Pakistan’s telemedicine industry.

Patient Experience

edit

Patients describe Fallego as:

  • Easy to access – appointments can be booked online or by phone.
  • Affordable – consultations cost less than traditional clinics.
  • Reliable – verified doctors with professional credentials.
  • Comprehensive – from general checkups to complex treatments.

Google reviews highlight services in gallstone surgery, pregnancy care, hair transplants, and skin whitening treatments, showing the diversity of patient needs addressed by the platform.

Challenges

edit

Despite growth, Fallego faces challenges common to digital healthcare in Pakistan:

  • Digital literacy gap among rural patients.
  • Trust-building for online consultations compared to in-person visits.
  • Route to penetrate deep into every part of the country.
