Medically Reviewed by Dr. Fábio Luiz Vieira, MD (Specialist RQE 31053) Last updated: Feb 11, 2026
Finding a reliable doctor in Brazil can be challenging for international visitors, expats, and tourists — especially when language barriers, unfamiliar healthcare systems, and long waiting times are involved.
My Brazilian Doctor provides fast, English-speaking online medical consultations anywhere in Brazil, with digital prescriptions valid at local pharmacies.
How Online Medical Care Works in Brazil
Telemedicine in Brazil allows patients to consult a licensed Brazilian doctor remotely, receive medical guidance, and obtain legally valid digital prescriptions.
With My Brazilian Doctor, the process is simple:
- Book an online appointment
- Speak directly with an experienced English-speaking physician
- Receive your digital prescription and medical guidance immediately
- Fill your prescription at any pharmacy in Brazil
When to Use Telemedicine
Online medical consultations are ideal for:
- Common infections (urinary, respiratory, skin)
- Gastrointestinal symptoms
- Allergies and rashes
- STDs and Sexual health concerns
- Medication renewals
- Travel-related health issues
- Anxiety, sleep problems, and mild mental health concerns
If your condition requires urgent or emergency care, in-person assistance is essential.
Medical Emergencies in Brazil
For medical emergencies in Brazil, the public emergency medical service is SAMU (Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência).
Emergency number: 192
SAMU provides emergency medical assistance nationwide and is coordinated by the Brazilian Ministry of Health.
More information is available on the
official government website:
Please note that SAMU services are primarily provided in Portuguese, which may represent a communication challenge for non-Portuguese speakers. In addition, in large cities and during peak periods, waiting times can be longer due to high demand.
My Brazilian Doctor does not replace emergency services and always advises patients to seek immediate local care when facing severe or life-threatening conditions.
