中国的远程医疗始于20世纪80年代中期，由于没有实时工作所需的电信基础设施，早期的中国远程医疗活动主要基于存储转发技术。近年来，随着电信网络的快速发展，远程医疗在我国得到了迅速发展。中国目前有三个主要的远程医疗网络：黄金健康网、中国国际医学网和中国人民解放军远程医疗网。然而，远程医疗的研究和应用在中国还处于相对早期的阶段。我们建议，中国政府需要制定有利于农村人口的政策，加大对远程医疗的投入，使他们能够享受到低成本的远程医疗服务，培育一个庞大的远程医疗市场。
Telemedicine in China began in the mid-1980s and the early Chinese telemedicine activities were mostly based on store-and-forward techniques as the telecommunication infrastructure required for realtime work was not available. In recent years, telemedicine in China has developed quickly with the rapid growth of telecommunication networks. China now has three major telemedicine networks: the Golden Health Network (GHN), the International MedioNet of China (IMNC) network and the People's Liberation Army (PLA) telemedicine network. Nonetheless, research and application of telemedicine is at a relatively early stage in China. We suggest that the Chinese government needs to make a policy in favour of rural people and invest more in telemedicine, so that they can enjoy low-cost telemedicine services and foster a large telemedicine market.
