Healthcare is being made more accessible to all Australians regardless of their location via Telehealth. This article by the Australian Financial Review looks at how a telehealth provider such as Hola health is addressing the shortage of GPs in Australian and is delivering quality and timely healthcare when it is needed. “Australia is facing an unprecedented shortage of doctors, especially of general practitioners, as evidenced over the last 10 years. The current change in the area of needs classification, makes it very difficult for foreign doctors to come and work in the cities. As a result, notwithstanding COVID-19, we have not seen any UK doctors/general practitioners coming into Australia in the last three years. That is why I strongly believe that telehealth is going to bridge the gap in the coming years.” says Dr Vishnu Gopalan, the chief medical officer of Hola Health “In the three years since we started, Hola Health has reshaped the landscape of healthcare accessibility in Australia. What began as a mission to deliver medicine quickly evolved into a thriving platform seamlessly connecting patients, pharmacies, and doctors, irrespective of place or time. Our goal for the next 12 to 24 months is to service every Australian in need of a doctor within 15 minutes” says Lenin Rajendran, Hola Health CEO.
