Originally developed to service the people in far flung rural areas of the country, telemedicine in India has come of age with people from other countries taking advantage of the facility to consult expert Indian doctors without having to leave their city.


The Apollo Group of Hospitals is the leader in the field of telemedicine in India. Telemedicine reduces the need for costly transfer of patient from one location to another, dependence on the opinion of just one specialist, and the long waiting lists patients often have to endure when they wish to consult a specialist.
