PASSAGE
Telehealth, the delivery of healthcare services using telecommunications technology, has rapidly evolved from a niche concept to a mainstream component of modern medicine. Its primary advantage lies in its ability to transcend geographical barriers, offering convenient access to care for patients in rural areas or those with mobility issues. Furthermore, virtual consultations can improve the efficiency of care for chronic disease management and routine follow-ups, reducing patient travel time and costs.
