The Health System of Jujuy province in Argentina quickly started a Digital Health project in response to the pandemic.
The Ministry of Health prepared a telehealth method to provide remote medical assistance to the population of Jujuy, avoiding the need for transfers and contact times with possible cases of COVID-19.
Telemedicine services operate through the Zoom video conferencing platform, where users are served by health professionals. Attention hours are from 8 AM to 8 PM.
The teleconsulting services include three modalities, as they are not only focused for those who have symptoms of COVID-19. In addition to COVID-19 patient orientation consultations, two additional channels were enabled.
