Why this distinction matters for your care
When you look for help online, the platforms you find are not all the same kind of thing. Some are open directories or marketplaces: clinicians self-onboard, anyone can apply and list, and the platform simply connects you with a listee and takes a cut. There is no shared clinical governance, quality varies widely from listing to listing, and once the introduction is made, the responsibility for your care sits with whoever you happened to pick.
A registered clinic works differently. At SehatYab, joining is a decision the clinic makes after vetting, not a listing anyone can create. In fact, SehatYab employs its own in-house clinicians on salary, something no directory does, alongside individually vetted panel clinicians, and all of them work under one clinical governance led by our Chief Medical Officer. The clinic itself is a regulated, accountable entity. That accountability is not a slogan. Huda Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., which operates SehatYab, is registered with the Punjab Healthcare Commission and the SECP, and has been serving people across Pakistan and overseas since 2016.
For you, the difference is simple. On an open platform, you carry the burden of judging quality yourself. At a registered clinic, the vetting has been done before you ever book, and consultations remain private, confidential, and discreet.
Registered clinic vs open directory or marketplace
The differences are structural, not cosmetic. This comparison describes categories of platforms, not any specific service.
| Registered clinic (SehatYab) | Open directory or marketplace | |
|---|---|---|
| Employment model | The clinic employs in-house clinicians on salary, alongside individually vetted panel clinicians, all under one governance | Everyone is an independent listee; the platform employs no clinicians |
| Clinician vetting | Every clinician is credential-checked, interviewed by our Chief Medical Officer, completes sample tasks, and is trained before joining | Clinicians self-onboard; anyone can apply and list |
| Licensing verification | Psychiatrists are PMDC-licensed; psychologists are verified qualified clinical psychologists | Listings may or may not be independently verified |
| Clinical governance | A Chief Medical Officer leads weekly clinical meetings and oversees governance across all clinicians | No shared clinical standards; each listee works independently |
| Accountability | The clinic itself is accountable as a PHC and SECP registered entity | The platform connects you and takes a cut; accountability sits with each individual listee |
| Quality standards | Quality is reviewed continuously against a defined standard; clinicians who do not maintain it do not stay | Quality varies widely from listing to listing |
| Who is responsible for your care | SehatYab is responsible for the standard of care, not just the connection | You are, once the introduction is made |
How clinicians join SehatYab, and what it takes to stay
This is a hiring and governance process, not a signup form. It applies to every clinician, whether employed in-house on salary or joining our vetted panel, and it does not stop at the door.
Application and credential review
Every applicant's qualifications, experience, and identity are reviewed before anything else. Psychiatrists must hold a verified PMDC license, and psychologists must be verified qualified clinical psychologists with postgraduate credentials. Joining is a decision the clinic makes, not a listing anyone can create.
Interview with our Chief Medical Officer
Shortlisted clinicians are interviewed in depth by our Chief Medical Officer, who assesses clinical knowledge, approach to care, and fit with the clinic's standards.
Sample clinical tasks
Before joining, applicants complete sample tasks so we can see how they actually work, not just what their documents say.
Training and onboarding
Selected clinicians are trained on the clinic's protocols, including confidentiality, quality standards, and how care is delivered on our platform, before they see a single client.
Weekly clinical meetings and governance
Our Chief Medical Officer leads weekly clinical meetings and oversees clinical governance across the whole panel, in-house and external alike, so standards stay consistent and current.
Ongoing quality review, with a bar to stay
Clinician quality is reviewed continuously under strict confidentiality protocols against a defined quality standard. Clinicians who do not maintain that standard do not remain on the panel. Verification is a bar you stay above, not a door you pass through once.
Salaried in-house clinicians, plus a vetted panel
SehatYab is one of very few online providers in Pakistan that employs clinicians on salary. Our in-house team works from within the clinic, on the clinic's standards, and around the clinic's protocols. Alongside them, we have a panel of individually vetted external clinicians who broaden your choice of specialty, language, and availability. Both groups go through the same review, interview, sample tasks, training, and ongoing governance. There is one clinic, one standard, and one point of accountability.
Who is accountable for your care
On an open directory, once you have been introduced to a listee, the platform's role is largely over. At SehatYab, the clinic is the accountable party. Huda Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. is registered with the Punjab Healthcare Commission (PHC) and the SECP. Our Chief Medical Officer runs weekly clinical meetings and clinical governance across the whole panel, and quality is reviewed continuously against a defined standard under strict confidentiality protocols. That is a different structure from a marketplace, and it is why you can book with confidence.
