The Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India on 14th of May 2020 notified the 'Telemedicine Practice Guidelines' for use by Doctors in India and makes all registered medical practitioners intending to provide online consultation to be familiar with these guidelines as well as with the process and limitations of telemedicine practice.
