Telemedicine has brought a new dimension to healthcare and has been gaining popularity worldwide. However, the medico-legal aspects of the practice of telemedicine in India remain ambiguous to most doctors and administrators. We have therefore provided a concise overview of the legal aspects of telemedicine, which will enable doctors and administrators to provide better telemedicine services while safeguarding themselves from possible litigation.
