ABSTRACT

Telemedicine in recent years has become a dominant issue in the health care community due to the advances in technology that can provide patients with faster, cheaper and easier health care services. Telemedicine is not one specific technology but a means for providing health services at a distance using information and communications technology, medical and computer science. Telemedicine hinges on transfer of text, reports, voice, images and videos between geographically separated locations. Success relates to the efficiency and effectiveness of the transfer of required information. Evidence of technology is advancing in all aspects of our life and veterinary science is no different. Veterinary telemedicine era has also come and delegation of key skills to an emerging and evolving veterinary profession appears essential to the objectives of veterinary telemedicine.
