Telemedicine in Mexico - Statistics & Facts
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted on one of the biggest challenges faced by humanity in recent years, demanding an extraordinary level of adaptability in a time of global crisis. Less contact, remote communication, and digital tools have become the norm. For the area of health care, this has brought about a wider use of complementary practices such as telemedicine. In Mexico, the number of people who use online doctor consultations increased by an estimated 73 percent between 2019 and 2021, reaching a total of 2.53 million patients that year. Furthermore, revenue from these consultations increased by 77 percent during that period, rising from 150.14 million U.S. dollars in 2019 to 266.07 million dollars two years later.
