远程医疗和相关的电子保健设施通过电子信息系统促进远距离护理。COVID-19大流行正在各国的医疗保健提供系统中建立远程医疗。在COVID-19危机期间，远程医疗为医疗保健服务做出了重大贡献。对于COVID-19或任何疾病的轻度至中度症状，远程医疗服务可能是接受初步护理和进行分流的更好，更有效的方式。远程医疗在筛查COVID-19症状、提供常规需求和后续护理方面也发挥着重要作用。在印度这样的中低收入国家，公共保健服务大规模采用远程医疗的情况仍然不明显。患者和医疗保健专业人员的采用有限，需要解决他们的担忧，以确保其在未来的护理连续体中的使用。在本文中，我们的目的是审查最近的远程医疗在流行期间采取的措施及其对印度等中低收入国家公共卫生的影响。
Telemedicine and related e-health facilities facilitate care from a distance through electronic information systems. COVID-19 pandemic is establishing telemedicine in the health care delivery system of countries. Telehealth is contributing significantly in health care delivery during the COVID-19 crisis. For mild-to-moderate symptoms of COVID-19 or any illness, telehealth services might represent a better, efficient way to receive initial care and perform triaging. Telemedicine also has a significant role in screening for COVID-19 symptoms and delivering routine needs and follow-up care. The large-scale adoption of telemedicine in public health care delivery is still not visible in low- and middle-income countries like India. Adoption by patients and healthcare professionals is limited and their concerns need to be addressed to ensure its utilization in future of the care continuum. In the current paper, we aim to review recent measures of Telemedicine adopted during the course of pandemic and its impact on public health in lower-middle income countries like India.
