Trust & Safety
Every doctor on Care247 is verified. Here's how.
No fake doctors. No exceptions. Real credentials, checked before anyone can offer care \u2014 so you can consult with confidence.
Why this matters
Across Nigeria, patients worry — rightly — about fake “doctors” and unqualified advice online. Care247 is built so you never have to wonder. Every doctor you see has passed a four-step verification process. Look for the Care247 Verified badge on every profile.
The four checks every doctor passes
1. Identity Verification
Government-issued ID, a live selfie and a face-match check confirm every doctor is a real person and exactly who they claim to be — not a stolen name or a fake profile.
2. License Verification
Each doctor’s medical license number is checked against the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) register. No valid, current license — no practice on Care247.
3. Credential Review
Qualifications, specialties and experience are reviewed by the Care247 team before a doctor is approved and shown to patients.
4. Ongoing Monitoring
Verification isn’t one-and-done. License expiry is tracked and doctor status is re-checked over time, so the badge you see stays true.
