Cannabis Telehealth Platform
The platform will act as a technology and coordination layer, enabling:
• Patient onboarding
• Telemedicine consultations
• Secure prescription workflows
• Pharmacy fulfilment coordination
All medical decisions will remain under the exclusive control of licensed healthcare professionals.
Patient Journey
Our future platform is designed to offer:
• Transparency at every step
• Clear communication with healthcare professionals
• Regulatory safeguards
• Access to patient education and support
This journey prioritises safety, legality, and patient understanding.
Prescriber Network
South Afri-Can is working toward establishing a network of independent, registered medical practitioners who will provide consultations via the platform.
Key Principles:
• Clinical independence is preserved at all times
• No prescribing quotas or commercial incentives
• Compliance with HPCSA telemedicine guidelines
• Ongoing professional accountability
Doctors participating on the platform will act in their professional capacity, not as agents of South Afri-Can.

Dispensing will be handled exclusively by licensed pharmacies registered with the South African Pharmacy Council.
Pharmacies will:

Compliance is not optional — it is foundational.
