Assalam-alaikum
Like any technology based healthcare service. we need to also focus on the fact that the role of doctors is to Assess,treat,monitor the patient's health issues. For telemedicine, one needs to establish a complete different workforce who could use the telemedicine technology and submit the outcomes to the doctors depending upon which phase of diagnosis they are in ( Assessment,Treatment or Monitoring). This way new job oppertunities will be available and also less burden the doctors will have to face.

I have a good news. In Mayo Hospital Lahore we have started a hub that is connected to Four remote districts of Pakistan. I hope that this will serve poor Patients of Pakistan.

Re: Telemedicine in Pakistan
I completely agree with docosama,the majority of the doctors are not intersted in the telemedicine advancements,primarily because they are more involved in the private practice,this is a hard-to-swallow fact,but facts are facts,they have to be accepted,i would like to invite opinions from my colleagues,as to how can the doctors be motivated to increase their usage of the modern facilities fro the betterment of their patients.
