Impact of telemedicine on antenatal care at a teaching institution in Eastern India: An insight into the future of better India.

Objectives: Telemedicine (TM) emergence has been profound in using technology to address the problems of obstetrics in remote and rural places, especially in low-risk pregnancy. Through this study, we made an effort to assess the satisfaction level and concerns of antenatal and postnatal patients who availed the telemedicine facility during the study period. We also made an effort to facilitate improved access to antenatal and postnatal care, especially the low-risk pregnancies through telemedicine for patients from remote areas of eastern India that do not have the availability of specialists.
