Telemedicine in the Caribbean: How Online Consultations Are Changing Healthcare

Telemedicine is reshaping how people in the Caribbean access medical care, bringing doctors closer to patients through technology. With just a smartphone or computer, individuals can now consult healthcare professionals online, breaking the barriers of distance and limited access to medical facilities.

This digital shift has made healthcare more accessible, affordable, and convenient, especially for people living in remote islands where traveling to hospitals can be difficult. Through real-time video consultations, remote patient monitoring, and digital prescriptions, patients can receive timely medical attention without leaving home.

For doctors, telemedicine allows better patient management and efficient time utilization. It also enhances chronic disease care by enabling continuous monitoring of conditions such as diabetes or hypertension.
