Abstract Healthcare is most essential for human beings that means it must be easily accessible, affordable, available for all the people. However, high number of populations of India which is continuously growing, is causing heavy burden on the healthcare institutions (especially public healthcare institutions). Due to which it is getting difficult to ensure all 3 A’s (accessibility, affordability, and availability) for the people.
Telemedicine practice which got popularity during COVID pandemic comes as boon. It utilises information and communication technological tools to facilitate virtual doctor-patient interaction whereby doctor seeks to understand about the symptoms and medical history of the patient based upon that he recommends certain investigations and further proceeds to provide knowledge, counselling, and in certain needful cases prescription for medications.
Prior to pandemic there was huge misunderstanding regarding regulation and proper procedure to be followed in practice of telemedicine. Then came Telemedicine Practice Guidelines 2020 determining rights and duties for both the medical professionals and intermediaries providing platforms facilitating telemedicine practice. The authors in this paper attempts to understand practice of telemedicine and challenges for this to grow along with concerns surrounding delivery of quality healthcare services.
