During the COVID-19 pandemic, nations adapted to the crisis by modifying existing healthcare policies, introducing new legislation, and allocating funds to accommodate the increased need for telemedicine services. For example, the United States enacted the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2020 to allocate additional funding to public health agencies. Similarly, France's Ministry of Health issued a decree to reimburse video teleconsultations for patients with COVID-19 symptoms or confirmed cases, even without a prior patient-provider relationship.
