Reimagining Healthcare Delivery: What South Africa Can Learn from Global Telemedicine Models

Global lessons that could transform SA’s healthcare system and save billions

When I tell people that telemedicine could fundamentally transform South Africa’s healthcare system, they often assume I’m talking about convenience.

But that’s thinking far too small.

What if I told you that the right telemedicine model could:

  • Significantly reduce hospital admissions?

  • Cut waiting times for specialist care by months, not days?

  • Save billions in unnecessary infrastructure costs?

  • And potentially make National Health Insurance affordable?

This isn’t speculation. It’s already happening in healthcare systems around the world, and TruMD is pioneering the revolution in South Africa.
