Medical Disclaimer

Nature of Our Services

SIAN Hospital provides online medical consultations through qualified healthcare professionals. Medical advice is provided solely on the basis of the information voluntarily supplied by the patient, including but not limited to:

• Presenting signs and symptoms
• History of Present Illness (HOPI)
• Past medical and surgical history
• Current medications
• Laboratory reports, imaging, photographs, or other documents voluntarily shared by the patient
• Any additional information disclosed during the consultation

As telemedicine is conducted without a complete physical examination, the healthcare professional's assessment is based on the information available at the time of consultation.

No Physical Examination

Unlike an in-person clinical visit, online consultations do not allow a complete physical examination or immediate access to diagnostic facilities. Consequently, medical opinions, diagnoses, and treatment recommendations may be limited by the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of the information provided by the patient.

Patients are responsible for providing truthful, complete, and up-to-date information. Incorrect, incomplete, or misleading information may affect medical assessment and treatment recommendations.

Not for Medical Emergencies

Do not use online consultation services if you or another person is experiencing a medical emergency, including but not limited to:

• Severe bleeding
• Difficulty breathing
• Chest pain
• Loss of consciousness
• Seizures
• Stroke symptoms
• Severe allergic reactions
• Pregnancy-related emergencies, including heavy bleeding or severe abdominal pain
• Any condition requiring immediate emergency care

If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, immediately contact your local emergency medical services or proceed to the nearest hospital or emergency department.

Not a Substitute for Hospital Care

Online consultation through SIAN Hospital does not replace hospital-based evaluation, emergency care, inpatient treatment, intensive care services, labor and delivery services, surgical care, or any situation requiring direct physical examination.

Patients may be advised to visit SIAN Hospital, another appropriate hospital, an emergency department, or a specialist whenever an online consultation is considered insufficient or inappropriate.

Surgical and In-Person Procedures

Online consultations do not constitute or replace surgical procedures, operative treatment, anesthesia services, labor room procedures, or other invasive medical interventions.

Any condition requiring surgery, a physical procedure, or direct clinical assessment should be evaluated and managed through an appropriate healthcare facility.

Diagnostic Limitations

An online consultation does not guarantee a definitive diagnosis. Healthcare professionals may recommend laboratory investigations, ultrasound examinations, imaging studies, physical examinations, or referral to an appropriate specialist before a diagnosis can be confirmed.

Medical advice may change if additional information, examination findings, or investigation results become available.

Prescriptions

Where clinically appropriate and permitted by applicable law, a healthcare professional may issue a prescription based on the available clinical information.

Patients are responsible for using medicines strictly as directed and for informing the healthcare professional about allergies, pregnancy status, breastfeeding status, existing medical conditions, and current medications.

Patients should discontinue medication and seek immediate medical attention if they develop serious side effects or worsening symptoms.

Patient Responsibility

By using SIAN Hospital's online consultation services, you acknowledge that you are responsible for:

• Providing accurate and complete medical information
• Following medical advice responsibly
• Seeking immediate in-person care whenever advised
• Attending recommended follow-up consultations
• Completing recommended investigations
• Informing healthcare professionals of any change in symptoms or condition

No Guarantee of Outcomes

Medicine is not an exact science, and individual responses to treatment vary significantly.

SIAN Hospital and its healthcare professionals do not guarantee any particular diagnosis, treatment outcome, recovery, cure, or medical result. Clinical decisions are based on the information available during the consultation and accepted medical practice.

Third-Party Services

SIAN Hospital may recommend laboratories, pharmacies, imaging centers, hospitals, or other healthcare providers for patient convenience. Unless expressly stated otherwise, such organizations may operate independently of SIAN Hospital.

SIAN Hospital is not responsible for the services, products, reports, pricing, availability, or professional conduct of independent third-party service providers.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SIAN Hospital, its healthcare professionals, employees, affiliates, and partners shall not be liable for any loss, injury, complication, delay, or damages arising from:

• Inaccurate or incomplete information provided by the patient
• Failure to seek recommended emergency or in-person medical care
• Delay in obtaining appropriate treatment
• Misuse of prescriptions or medications
• Technical interruptions affecting communication
• Circumstances beyond the reasonable control of SIAN Hospital

Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited under applicable law.

Acceptance of This Disclaimer
