The vast territory, dispersed population, and remote locations of Nunavut make accessing quality healthcare expensive. Most communities in Nunavut have no resident doctor, which leaves thousands without timely prescriptions or refills. Meanwhile, residents in small hamlets often have to fly to larger centers for basic needs like antibiotics for a chest infection or an inhaler for asthma.

Your Doctors Online makes it easy to get a prescription from anywhere in Nunavut without traveling.  Whether you’re in Iqaluit or a small hamlet, our licensed physicians are ready to assist with everything from common infections to managing chronic conditions. 

Your health shouldn’t have to wait. We will take care of you when you need it.
