This article discusses the penetration of telemedicine in Latin America hospitals in
the region including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Mexico, and Peru. An overview of major hospitals and challenges faced in implementing telehealth services in each country is featured – along with discussion on anticipated effects on patients and providers.
The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated that the use of digital solutions and medical teleconsultations in Latin America are effective, however, the focus of any telehealth policy in
these countries must be the impact of its implementation to improve access to health, lower cost, and enhance patient quality of life, ensuring safety, confidentiality, and security of medical information.
The private and public Latin American healthcare market is eager to learn more about effective, low cost telehealth implementation knowledge and proven solutions.
