South Korea begins nationwide pilot to allow telemedicine again nextdigitalhealth.com

We know that telemedicine has been a big factor contributing to the health of everyone around the world during the pandemic because it was obvious that contact should be as less as possible during those times due to fears of the virus spreading. However, it is worth noting that while other countries like the US have made telemedicine permanent even after the pandemic, there are others who have once again stopped permission for telemedicine usage in the country and one of them is South Korea. Yes, it is known that South Korea recently reduced the health emergency level in the country to indicate that the pandemic’s threat has reduced. However, with that the permission for telemedicine also went away. But we have good news in this regards as South Korea is now testing a three-month pilot project to allow permanent telehealth services in the country.
