Telehealth is changing the way South Africans access medical advice and care, especially across provinces like the Eastern Cape, where travel to clinics and hospitals can be challenging for busy families, professionals, and retirees. Telehealth services allow consultations with healthcare practitioners via telephone or online platforms, making it possible to seek advice, receive basic prescriptions, or arrange referrals - all without leaving home.
