Abstract :

Telemedicine, the use of telecommunication and information technologies to provide healthcare services remotely, has become increasingly popular in human healthcare in recent years. However, its use in veterinary medicine and public health has been slower to develop. This paper explores the opportunities and challenges of using telemedicine in veterinary public health, with a focus on remote consultations and monitoring of animal health. The potential benefits of telemedicine include increased access to veterinary care in remote or underserved areas, improved disease surveillance and outbreak response, and reduced stress on animals during veterinary visits. However, there are also challenges to overcome, such as ensuring the quality and accuracy of remote diagnoses, addressing legal and regulatory barriers, and ensuring that telemedicine does not replace in-person veterinary care when necessary. Overall, telemedicine has the potential to significantly improve veterinary public health, but it is important to carefully consider the opportunities and challenges before implementing telemedicine in this field.
