【 摘 要 】

The government of Nepal proposed to provide  health services for both  COVID and non-COVID infected patients through telemedicine.After the outbreak of the COVID-19 in Nepal, the number of people taking online health services, including counselling, increased by 70% as compared to last year in the Kathmandu valley. People being depressed staying alone in isolation and quarantine can get an opportunity to talk and share their problems with doctors through the means of telemedicine. Telemedicine has saved the time, effort and money of people living in remote areas.
