Abstract:
Moving the information instead of the patient is often sufficient and telemedicine is a useful and potentially powerful tool which fulfils this idea. It has changed the classical form of health-care delivery by providing those people living in rural and remote areas with comparable services to those in urban areas. Equally, remote hospitals can obtain specialist consultations and diagnosis without the need for the patient to travel. We have reviewed the present status of telemedicine and its future possibilities.
