About the practitioners on this platform
Every practitioner on Zuri Health is licensed with a recognised medical board in their country of practice. We verify licensing before onboarding. Zuri Health is a facilitation platform — the clinical judgement belongs to the practitioner, not the platform. If your situation requires physical examination or emergency care, your practitioner will direct you to an in-person facility.
