Telemedicine service is available for many years now. But coronavirus or COVID-19 situation has increased its necessity many folds. Bangladeshi Doctors are providing telemedicine service for patients with corona like symptoms or general non-emergency cases. Patients are encouraged not to attend the hospital for mild symptoms. As hospitals and clinics are potential sources for the outbreaking coronavirus. IDECR has published some hotline numbers also. Recently a Facebook group run by some renowned child specialists came into limelight for providing easy access to specialist care. Here is a list of doctors’ mobile number for consultation. Although I doubt the credibility of this kind of publicity. Most private hospitals outdoor and private chamber service are now closed to refrain coronavirus spread.
