A recent report from the Dubai Health Authority indicated an exceptional growth in the area of telemedicine. The coronavirus pandemic has served as a catalyst for the introduction of new technologies and methods, making remote medical care more accessible and widely used.
In particular, electronic consultations with doctors have noticeably increased, providing patients with the opportunity to receive assistance and recommendations without the need to physically visit medical institutions. This trend also helps to eliminate problems accessing medical services for those who live in remote areas or face difficulties in visiting hospitals due to health status or return to their place of residence.
One of the key advantages of remote medical care, primarily in terms of convenience and effectiveness, is the reduced risk of contracting infections during the pandemic. This promotes medical institutions, both public and private, for further development and improvement of technologies to ensure quality care for patients.
It is noted that the growing demand for remote medical care requires the training of medical personnel and the creation of a supportive infrastructure. Undoubtedly, the development of this direction allows for enhancing the accessibility and effectiveness of medical services, while ensuring the safety of patients and personnel.
