Terms of Service

Effective January 1, 2026. Please read these terms carefully before using Tenachin's platform, services, or the mobile app.

By creating an account, booking a consultation, or otherwise using Tenachin's app, website, call center, or SMS gateway, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy.

02

Description of Service

Tenachin connects patients with licensed general practitioners, specialists, subspecialists, and allied health professionals through video, voice, and text. Services include consultations, e-prescriptions, lab referrals, follow-up care, and health education.

03

Not for Medical Emergencies

Tenachin is not an emergency service. If you or someone near you is experiencing a medical emergency, call your nearest ambulance service immediately and go to the nearest health facility. Do not rely on Tenachin for time-critical, life-threatening situations.

04

Eligibility & Accounts

You must provide accurate information when registering and keep your login credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity under your account. Consultations for minors must be booked and supervised by a parent or legal guardian.

Care delivered on Tenachin is provided by independently licensed clinicians who exercise their own professional judgment. Diagnoses, prescriptions, and treatment plans are based on the information you provide — please share your symptoms and history honestly and completely.
