By leveraging digital technologies, it provides timely and cost-effective care, especially for remote or underserved populations. Patients benefit from enhanced continuity of care, improved chronic disease management, and expanded access to mental health services. However, challenges such as the digital divide, data security concerns, and limitations in handling complex cases pose barriers to its full potential. Despite these challenges, telemedicine is a transformative tool that complements traditional healthcare, enhancing quality and equity.
