Telemedicine is revolutionizing healthcare access in Southern Asia, particularly in rural regions. Platforms like Practo and Halodoc offer virtual consultations, reducing the need for travel and long wait times. This innovation addresses the challenges of a shortage of medical professionals and uneven healthcare distribution across the region.
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated telemedicine adoption, and the trend continues to grow with improving internet connectivity. Patients now benefit from convenient, affordable, and effective healthcare solutions. Telemedicine is not just a stopgap; it’s the future of primary care in Southern Asia.
