Canada and Brazil face a common challenge of delivering healthcare across vast distances to populations often isolated from urban centers. Experiments with virtual care went into overdrive last year when the pandemic first hit. The adoption of telemedicine could be a boon for isolated communities - and for marginalized residents of towns and cities who can t find time to visit a doctor.
