Telemedicine refers to remote healthcare services provided by healthcare professionals using information and communication technology. The Ministry of Health’s regulation on Telemedicine (Permenkes 20/2019) covers teleradiology, tele-electrocardiography, tele-ultrasonography, teleclinical consultations, and other telemedicine services as per advancements in science and technology. Research development with various public-private ownership characteristics, geographic locations, and service levels is necessary to strengthen telemedicine implementation. Regulatory guidance on clinical teleconsultation, the development of online PNPK (National Standardization of Health Facility), and strengthening health information management policies, including financing and digital literacy, are also necessary. Collaboration across academic, business, community, government, and media sectors is crucial for developing clinical teleconsultation.
