Your Rights as a Patient
You have the right to verify any healthcare professional treating you. Here is everything UMR provides to keep you safe.
Verify Your Doctor Instantly
Before any consultation, scan the practitioner's UMR QR code or search by name and license to confirm they are legitimately registered with UMDPC, UNMEC or AHPC.
QR Code Scan at Point of Care
Every verified practitioner carries a unique QR code. Scan it from any mobile device to get an instant, blockchain-confirmed credential report — no app needed.
Find Licensed Facilities
Search for licensed hospitals, clinics and health centres in your district. Every facility is verified by the Ministry of Health before listing on the registry.
Report Suspected Fraud
If you encounter someone claiming to be a healthcare professional who is not on the registry, report them instantly through our fraud reporting portal.
Your Health Passport
As a registered patient, maintain your personal health passport — a secure, shareable summary of your consultations, referrals and vaccination history.
