Telemedicine and Law in Nigeria: Need For Proper Legal Framework- Adeoye Damilare Adetayo Esq
The worldwide progress in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry continues to transform the human standard of living. It intermingles with virtually all lines of work and positively improves the patterns and facilitates the speedy execution of work. By the click of a button, the void of distance and ignorance are broken thereby ushering new landscapes for opportunities.

Today, the future of Medicine is inseparable from Technology. As a matter of fact, the future is more than just within reaching distance; it touches our life paths day after day. This ‘future’ is Telemedicine, which, in fuller terms, is referred to as ‘Technological Medicine’.
