Telehealth is crucial in pediatrics for several reasons: 1. Access to Care: Telehealth bridges the gap for children in underserved or rural areas who may not have easy access to specialized pediatric care. 2. Convenience: It offers a more convenient option for parents and caregivers, reducing the need for travel and time off work. 3. Continuity of Care: Telehealth ensures continuous and timely follow-ups, essential for managing chronic conditions. 4. Safety: Telehealth minimizes the exposure to contagious diseases, which is particularly important for immunocompromised children.
