Abstract
The health of ourselves and our loved ones is always our top priority as human beings; it is something we are concerned about on a daily basis. Regardless of age, gender, socio-economic, cultural, or ethnic origin, health is regarded as our most valuable possession. Although about 75% of Indians live in rural areas, more than 75% of Indian doctors live in cities. The majority of India's 620 million rural residents do not have access to primary health care. A study by the Indian Institute of Public Opinion found that 89% of Indian patients in rural areas walk up to five miles to receive primary health care. Telemedicine has the potential and the ability to reform this inequality by allowing doctors in urban areas to consult with local people, including specialized care when needed. The chapter outlines the legality of telemedicine, the effectiveness of the framework in regulating the practice, the different modes available for tele-consultation, and how it can be integrated into population health management, pharmacogenomics and patient-centered care.
