All Global Doctor Clinics have access to a wide range of pathology testing & imaging facilities at the local teaching hospitals. So that your Perth-based doctor can order the investigations they feel are necessary to confirm your diagnosis.

Our Chinese clinics are equipped with their own blood and urine-testing machines so that basic blood biochemistry and urinanalysis can be performed on site.

More sophisticated blood tests which are not available at our clinics can be performed on the same day as the consultation at the local hospital and the results can be faxed or emailed to our doctor in Perth as soon as they are available. This enables a rapid diagnosis of the patient’s problem to be made.

Diagnostic images such as CT and MRI scans are performed at the local hospital and the images are digitised and sent via our network to the telemedicine centre in Perth. These images are sent to our specialist radiology provider in Perth who provides a formal report, which is then sent back to the clinic in Asia.

The use of digital transmission means we can supply a report within 1-2 hours for basic radiology and Global Doctor can guarantee an expert radiological opinion within 24 hours for any complex radiology brought to our clinics.

Using the same technology as with X-Rays digital images can be transferred in a matter of seconds to the Perth based doctor. Each of our clinics has a high resolution mega-pixel digital camera, which can take photographs of rashes, injuries, swollen joints, or any other body. These high-resolution images allow your Australian doctor to make an accurate a diagnosis as possible. For detailed examination of skin conditions a digital Dermatoscope is used for microscopic examination of moles and other skin blemishes. The images from this can then be sent to a specialist Dermatologist for accurate interpretation.

Digital Otoscopes allow images of the ear/nose/throat to be transferred to Perth. Thus a quick and accurate diagnosis of an ear or throat infection can be made. Equipment within our clinics includes a digital Stethoscope, which allows the doctor in Perth to listen to a patient’s heart and lungs no matter what foreign Global Doctor clinic you may be in. These digitally enhanced sounds are of better quality than those that would be heard if the patient was in the same room as their doctor.

Other equipment within the clinics includes cardiac monitoring and ECG facilities for the investigation of Chest Pain Lung function testing by spirometry can be performed for those with Asthma or Chronic lung conditions. All this data can be transferred to Perth immediately, allowing a quick determination of results by the Perth Doctor to be made.

All results are stored in a patient record exactly as they would be if you were seeing your own family physician. Therefore if you are a regular traveller or if you live near a Global Doctor clinic you can use our clinics for regular follow up and on going management of any medical condition.
