Abdullah: Thank you for your support. Both Mo and I are married to dentists so I know exactly where you're coming from! We are currently onboarding medical doctors for our platform and focusing on this clinical group. Our onboarding of doctors requires them to be registered to their medical board, so in the UK for example, the General Medical Council (GMC). They also have to have the appropriate indemnity insurance, no outstanding investigations and up to date training. In time, we will on board dentists using the General Dental Council (GDC) for example. However, saying that the patient can still show you their records in your clinic as they have access to them with our platform.

Abdullah: We have provided access to the Discharge Summary application free of charge and are continuing to support more hospitals as time goes by. We would love to onboard the same hospitals in the UK and others with our Medicalchain platform. However, the NHS, like most large organisations is a very slow moving beast therefore we have taken a bottom up approach. With Discharge Summary we let the junior doctors use the system first, in time this was accepted and adopted by the heads of departments and became the standard. We want to on board patients and doctors as soon as possible to improve scalability and establish Medicalchain's use. Saying that, we are still talking to decision makers in the NHS to start the ball rolling. Trusts make decisions over several hospitals so would be the best to tackle. We have Dave in our team who was the Head of IT at Salfords Hospital Trust and I myself sit on a board at NHS Digital so we have some connections already.

Abdullah: I don't have anything further to add to my comments above. We are a company focused on improving health data communication for its users. I can't answer questions about ethical longstanding problems with our society such as why is fresh fruit and meat more expensive than fast food and so forth.

Abdullah: How have we got to talking about poor people and food deserts? This is a company focussed on improving communications between patients and doctors. I think you are misinterpreting my comments on purpose and I really can't do anything about that.
