The Medical Practice is also a pioneer in promoting the idea of onsite medical examinations. This idea sprouted from the fact that a lot of valuable work hours are wasted in commuting to, waiting for and getting a medical interview,tests and vaccines when going to static health facilities. This is especially true when a corporate has multiple sites in suburban and or remote areas. The Medical Practice started providing the opportunity where the health provider goes to the healthcare seeker.
