FIGUEROA, Luis Mauricio. Telehealth in Colombia, challenges associated with COVID-19. Biomed. [online]. 2020, vol.40, suppl.2, pp.77-79.  Epub 12-Nov-2020. ISSN 0120-4157.  https://doi.org/10.7705/biomedica.5594.

The COVID-19 pandemic has generated a revolution of such magnitude that no aspect of human life will be the same from now on. The provision of health services and health education are not unrelated to this new normality imposed by the disease, and its consequences have been reflected in the need to use protocols and resources based on virtuality that most of us had not valued in their real dimension. Telehealth and telemedicine will be basic tools for professionals and teachers and it is our obligation to know them, apply them, and innovate to adapt to this reality.
