Abstract
Telemedicine has gained significant traction within the recent years, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, which had put the patient and the care givers at a distance, due to the quarantine restrictions. Telemedicine has been extensive used for the purpose of teleradiology, telepathology and telepsychiatry throughout the course of the pandemic. However, the knowledge, attitude and practices towards the use of telemedicine in rural Indian areas are still limited. Hence, we designed this study to access the views of healthcare professionals regarding the use of telemedicine in the rural areas of central India.
