Long covid is likely to expedite international virtual care
COVID-19 has forced medicine to operate virtually in countries across the world and demonstrated its effectiveness. Can we go back to our previous model of care, seeing patients in person? Partially, but not completely.
The next step involves borderless virtual medical care and is likely to be expedited by long covid.
There are only a few people in the world with a good understanding of long covid, so how can that expertise be shared effectively?
The future of medicine is virtual but this transition is likely to be resisted as individual countries struggle to control who has access to their patients.
I am ready for the future. Are you?
