• Connect with licensed medical practitioners via video consultations
• Book, schedule, and manage medical appointments
• Receive digital prescriptions and referral letters
• Access lab test booking and pharmacy ordering services
• Store and manage personal health records
• Receive health information and educational content
Ugzo Health is NOT an emergency medical service. In the event of a medical emergency, please call Nigeria Emergency Services (199) or go to your nearest hospital immediately. The Platform supplements but does not replace in-person medical care where required.

By registering, you confirm that all information you provide is truthful, accurate, and complete.
4. Medical Disclaimers
Ugzo Health facilitates connections between patients and independent medical practitioners. We do not employ or directly supervise the doctors on our platform. All doctors are licensed and verified under the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN).
The medical advice, diagnoses, prescriptions, and recommendations provided through the Platform are the professional opinions of the individual licensed practitioners, not Ugzo Health Technologies Ltd.
Ugzo Health does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any medical information provided. You should always seek the advice of a qualified healthcare provider regarding any medical questions you may have.
Consultations conducted via the Platform are subject to the same confidentiality obligations as in-person consultations under Nigerian Medical Ethics and the relevant data protection laws.
5. Payments and Refunds
Consultation fees are set by individual practitioners and are displayed clearly before booking. All fees are displayed in Nigerian Naira (₦).
Payments are processed through our secure payment partners (Paystack, Flutterwave). By making a payment, you authorise Ugzo Health to charge the stated consultation fee.
Refund Policy:
• Full refund: If a doctor cancels or fails to attend the consultation
• Full refund: If you cancel at least 2 hours before the scheduled time
• No refund: If you cancel less than 2 hours before the scheduled time
• Partial refund (50%): If technical issues on our platform prevent a full consultation
Disputed charges must be raised within 7 days of the consultation via support@ugzohealth.ng.
6. Privacy and Data
Your use of the Platform is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By accepting these Terms, you also accept our Privacy Policy.
We process your personal and health data in accordance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023, the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR), and any other applicable laws. Your health information is treated as sensitive data and protected accordingly.
