Telemedicine brings healthcare within reach of population residing in medically inaccessible areas. Telemedicine allows patients to seek medical care in case of an emergency or otherwise. With this technology, they will also be able to share their medical reports - videos or radiology images to ensure an all round investigation and an accurate diagnosis is delivered. Telemedicine is also useful in getting doctors in touch with their peers to discuss complicated cases or to get specialized help remotely.

Telemedicine applied to medical practice results in:

• Minimal patient displacement for quality treatment
• Decrease in the relocation of medical specialists to the patient
• Cost effective method of health care delivery
• More efficient and effective use of medical and technological resources
• Enhanced diagnostic and therapeutic quality of care
