Telemedicine,
an emerging paradigm for delivering affordable quality healthcare
The World Health Organisation defines telemedicine as "the
delivery of healthcare services, where distance is a critical
factor, by all healthcare professionals using information
and communication technologies for the exchange of valid information
for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease and injuries,
research and evaluation, and for the continuing education
of healthcare providers, all in the interest of advancing
the health of individuals and their communities"
