GeraClinic in India 2026 — Telemedicine for 1.4 Billion
Published 21 April 2026 · 8 min read · en-IN
GeraClinic brings doctor video consultations to every Indian pin code. Visits start at ₹399. Every doctor is registered with the National Medical Commission or a State Medical Council, every e-prescription is accepted by Apollo Pharmacy, Tata 1mg, PharmEasy, Netmeds, and MedPlus, and payment is one UPI tap away.
GeraClinic and the Indian regulatory picture
The National Medical Commission (NMC) Telemedicine Practice Guidelines 2020 — originally published by the Medical Council of India and now administered by the NMC under the NMC Act 2019 — authorise every registered medical practitioner in India to consult patients remotely. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare endorses the same framework. MeitY's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 governs how GeraClinic stores your medical records; consent is explicit, and you can export or delete your data at any time. The Drugs and Cosmetics Rules still restrict Schedule X drugs and narcotics to in-person prescriptions.
Conditions suited to a GeraClinic video visit
- Seasonal illnesses — flu, fever, dengue screening, monsoon GI infections
- Chronic disease reviews — diabetes, hypertension, thyroid, PCOS
- Dermatology — skin infections, acne, eczema, fungal conditions
- Paediatrics — common childhood illnesses, immunisation advice
- Mental health — anxiety, depression, sleep issues (critical given psychiatrist shortage)
- Gynaecology — menstrual concerns, contraception, menopause
- Second opinions — independent review of reports from another hospital
