Abstract
Telemedicine has been successful in proving its effectiveness and in overcoming the main barriers in managing long Covid-19 or post Covid-19 complications. Recognizing the necessity of Telemedicine, considering the current crisis both to address increased treatment needs and to prevent unnecessary in-person contact, Apollo Tele Health (ATH) has adopted an innovative way of Telemedicine in managing patients and helping them recover from post covid complications thus realizing the full potential of advancements in technology for high quality health care delivery. With the onset of Covid-19, ATH has proven to be an essential tool for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of COVID 19 and to mitigate the post covid complications. This has been possible by the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) for the exchange of valid health information. Burden on healthcare in India is eased by an integrated effort of the government and other private sector initiatives such as Apollo Tele Health. Telemedicine platform can be used effectively for managing post Covid-19 complications and health education on various risk factors of Covid-19.
