Introduction
Aman TeleHealth is a 24-hour healthcare helpline which provides easy and timely access to diagnostic services, basic medical advice, mental health and family planning counselling over the phone. In addition, Aman TeleHealth has over 10,000 healthcare facilities mapped out on its system enabling callers to access information about the relevant facilities in their vicinity.
