Telemedicine can partially replace in-person visits, ideal for follow-ups, chronic care, mental health, and minor issues—saving time and improving access. However, it cannot fully replace physical exams (auscultation, palpation), emergencies, or procedures requiring hands-on assessment. Studies show 70-80% of primary care can be safely managed remotely, though misdiagnosis risk exists in complex cases.References: https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240029200 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8590973/
