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 and receive medical guidance, including legally valid digital prescriptions where clinically appropriate.


With My Brazilian Doctor, the process is simple:


  1. Book an online appointment
  2. Speak directly with an experienced English-speaking physician
  3. Receive medical guidance and, when clinically indicated, a digital prescription
  4. Present your prescription at any pharmacy in Brazil

When to Use Telemedicine

Online medical consultations are ideal for:



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.

How Prescriptions works in Brazil

After the doctor's evaluation and when clinically indicated, your doctor issues a legally valid digital prescription, signed via Bird-ID (ICP-Brasil standards). This secure document is sent to your email and is accepted at pharmacies across Brazil, with no need for paper documents.

Some medications follow specific Brazilian regulations and require a paper prescription. When that applies, your doctor will explain the process during the consultation.
