Bangkok: The hospital is ready to use telemedicine systems to cope with the energy crisis. Many public hospitals have begun announcing adjustments to the prolonged conflict in the Middle East, preparing to increase the proportion of telemedicine services to reduce the burden on the public by eliminating the need to travel to see doctors during the fuel shortage.
According to Thai News Agency, doctors are concerned that if the fighting continues, it could affect the entire drug supply system. The move towards telemedicine is a strategic response aimed at addressing the challenges posed by the ongoing conflict and its impact on energy resources. The integration of telemedicine services aims to ensure that medical consultations can continue without the necessity of physical travel, which is increasingly difficult due to the fuel shortage.
Public hospitals are taking proactive steps to mitigate the impact of the conflict on healthcare services. By leveraging technology, these institutions aim to maintain patient care standards and accessibility, despite the challenging circumstances.
