Telemedicine is a process through which patients can consult doctors located at very distant places through electronic mediums without visiting them. Apollo is also conducting a market study on attitudes and behavioral responses of the public towards accepting the mobile phone as an enabler for healthcare by taking 2,500 people from across the country.

Apollo Telemedicine, being the oldest multispeciality telemedicine network in South Asia, currently has 125 centers including 15 centres in international markets. It has commissioned three centres in Nigeria last week and signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to set up 25 centers in Africa.
