Telehealth allows patients to consult healthcare professionals using phone or video without visiting a clinic.
It is a safe and convenient option for many medical needs, especially when in-person visits are not necessary.
Telehealth is useful when:
- You need medical advice for mild symptoms
Conditions such as headaches, cough, fever, or general discomfort can often be assessed remotely. - You are managing a chronic condition
Patients with diabetes, hypertension, or asthma can receive follow-up care and monitoring through telehealth. - You need prescription refills or medical guidance
Doctors can review symptoms and send digital prescriptions where appropriate. - Travel or mobility is difficult
Telehealth helps patients who have mobility challenges or live far from healthcare facilities. - You want quick professional advice
Telehealth reduces waiting time and provides faster access to medical guidance.
While telehealth is not suitable for emergencies, it plays an important role in modern healthcare by improving access and convenience.
