Why Telehealth?
Telehealth revolutionizes healthcare by utilizing telecommunications technology, offering greater accessibility, especially in remote areas, and the convenience of home-based care. It cuts costs by reducing physical infrastructure needs and travel, and lowers infection risks in epidemics. Telehealth also provides healthcare provider flexibility, improves chronic disease management and preventive care, and enhances mental health service accessibility. Integrated with advanced health technologies, it enables a more personalized, comprehensive, and efficient approach, establishing itself as a vital component of modern healthcare.
