Though the global pandemic caused many disruptions to all sectors, including the healthcare system, there is a positive development in the pharmaceutical industry as telepharmacy, which previously was not patronised much, has seen a soaring of demand with patients preferring the service to going to a hospital.
Telepharmacy is a pharmacist using telecommunication technology to provide care for patients. Patient care is delivered over the phone, or through an online platform where patients can key in their details of ailments and get prescriptions from medical doctors for assistance from pharmacists.
