What is telemedicine?
Telemedicine is the delivery of healthcare services remotely, through information and communication technologies (ICT). This allows us to provide care to patients who live in rural or remote areas, or who cannot travel to our clinic for health, economic, or other reasons.
With telemedicine, you can:
- Speak with a doctor in real time, through a video call.
- Exchange messages with a specialist doctor.
- Save time and transportation costs.
- Reduce wait times for services.
