Yes. You must be signed in with a patient account that has a verified mobile number or verified email address before you can book.

You can book a new in-clinic consultation, or an Online Appointment (video consultation). Follow-up visits are arranged directly with the clinic rather than through online booking.

As a general guide: New Cairo runs Saturday to Thursday, with Monday and Wednesday as Day-shift only; Mohandessin runs on Monday nights; Sheikh Zayed runs on Wednesday nights. All branches are closed on Friday, and availability can change, so always rely on what the booking page shows.

A date or shift may not appear because that branch does not run on that day, it is a Friday, the shift is fully booked, or the clinic has closed that date or shift. Try another available option.

After you confirm, the site shows a confirmation with your booking number, and a confirmation is also sent to you by email and SMS. Booking numbers look like MM-12345.
