“…The results of this study show that telemedicine implemented in public hospitals can facilitate universal coverage of relatively inexpensive diagnostic services in rural and isolated communities in the country, where they are not available, as evidenced in other countries. This research analyzed the usefulness of telemedicine in four areas of diagnostic service, its profit and usefulness as an instrument for mapping prevalent pathologies in the country, which is important for decisions and development of action plans, especially for developing countries such as Paraguay (GALVÁN et al, 2017).…”

“…Finally, resuming the study conducted by the Telemedicine Unit of the Ministry of Health Public and Social Welfare (MSPBS) in collaboration with the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Images of the Scientific Research Institute (IICS-UNA) and the University of the Basque Country ( UPV / EHU), after analyzing its results, it is evident that telemedicine can contribute to significantly improve the coverage of universal health diagnosis services and programs, maximizing the professional's time and productivity, increasing access and equity and reducing costs. However, before carrying out its systematic implementation, contextualization with the regional epidemiological profile must be carried out and the costs for its implementation and sustainability must be determined according to current methodologies (GALVÁN et al, 2017).…”

Medicine, as a health profession, is a science in constant development that has the role of treating the human being in its physical, mental and social aspects. In this context, telemedicine is a way to facilitate this access. Telemedicine is the modality of medical care in which information and communication technologies are used to promote remote care. In order to review its impact on the doctor-patient relationship, a literature review on the subject was carried out. Telemedicine, then, showed promise in increasing the coverage of health promotion, since it enables remote pathophysiological care, albeit limited, and the human reception of a conversation, more than between doctor and patient, but between human beings. Ethical issues still surround the practice. Because this type of care is considered innovative, bioethical discussions are generated, assisted by the World Medical Association, which values maintaining autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence and justice in the practice of telemedicine, principles that govern the inherent ethics of the profession. Therefore, as an ethical exercise that is expressly authorized or not prohibited, telemedicine must be encouraged as a parallel path to traditional medicine.
