Customer experience starts with an integrated and interactive mobile application, a 24-7 Control Centre staffed with Family Medicine Specialists, Pediatricians, Psychiatrists, Pharmacists, Wellness Advisors, Case Managers, Virtual Clinic for office, remote areas and home and Hospital at Home Programme licensed by Johns Hopkins University which includes 24-7 Tele-monitoring to serve healthy, acute and chronic conditions.

Dr. Haider Al Yousuf, CEO Health Funding, said, "Changing people's behaviour is essential in reaching a sustainable healthcare solution. We aim to implement the best possible practices and standards worldwide" Raouf Khalil, Founder and CEO of Mobile Doctors 24-7, said, "The transformation of Telemedicine to '24-7 Population Health Management' was driven by both consumers and payers.
