New Delhi [India] April 7 (/BusinessWire India): TMT Law Practice, in conjunction with and under the aegis of the Telemedicine Society of India assisted the NITI Aayog in the formulation and drafting of the recently approved Telemedicine Practice Guidelines (Guidelines), 2020.The Guidelines were released by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) and presented and approved by the Board of Governors who has superseded the Medical Council of India. The Guidelines acknowledge the necessity and the effectiveness of delivery of healthcare by the means of information and communications technology.The Guidelines have provisioned appropriate preface and purpose of the practice of Telemedicine. Globally accepted definitions for 'telemedicine', 'telehealth' have been highlighted therein.The focus continues to be the provisioning of healthcare to patients residing in India and specifically excludes extraterritorial application. The requirement for recordkeeping and compliance with law continues to be the focus.Given the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, these Guidelines have recognized the need to protect and preserve the functioning and efficiency of the healthcare practitioners.
