Abstract

Telemedicine is the use of digital technology that, remotely, allows patients to receive healthcare services from their providers. It is cost efficient, easily accessible and can improve access to medical care among patients in rural communities. However, the growth of telemedicine has been slow due to skepticism and privacy concerns. Nevertheless, the recent outbreak of COVID-19 has brought telemedicine into the limelight. A Medline/ PubMed search was performed to find articles with “telemedicine” as a heading.
