Your doctor online, anytime, anywhere

A word from our clinical director

“

Dear patients,

It's a joy to welcome you to this September edition of our newsletter. Launching our website in Brazil is just the first step. Over the coming months we'll keep expanding our medical team and our range of consultations, so that Global Health care reaches as many patients as possible.

Our goal isn't only to resolve a single health concern, but to build a long-term relationship of trust with you: a doctor who knows your history and a team you can count on, whether for a routine consultation, a prescription renewal or a second opinion.

Thank you for trusting Global Health with your healthcare. We're here to care for you and your family.

Dr Renato Sarmento

Clinical Director, Global Health Brazil · CRM 170837

Online doctor

See a doctor online, without leaving home

Why spend hours in a waiting room? With Global Health you speak with doctors registered with the Regional Medical Council (CRM) over a secure video call, in Portuguese, English or Spanish, from anywhere.

Here's how it works:

1. The doctor assesses you over video and, where clinically indicated, can renew your prescription or issue a digital medical certificate (atestado).
2. If tests are needed, the doctor can request lab or imaging tests.
3. After each consultation, you receive your clinical documentation and follow-up guidance by email.

Care in your language

Healthcare in the language you're comfortable with

Explaining how you feel is much easier in your own language. Our consultations in Brazil are available in Portuguese, English and Spanish, depending on doctor availability, which is also ideal for foreigners living in Brazil and for Brazilians who prefer another language.

From our blog

Is an online medical certificate valid?

Yes, as long as there is a genuine consultation, a doctor registered with the CRM and a verifiable digital signature. In the article we explain what the certificate must contain, how an employer checks the signature at validar.iti.gov.br and why the diagnosis code (CID) is only included with your authorisation.
