During the pandemic it was not safer to visit a hospital physically therefore telemedicine has played a vital role on improving the standard and accessibility of healthcare. Telemedicine refers to the provision of medical services remotely using a telecommunications network. Most of the rural people of Bangladesh doesn’t get appropriate medical service. To address this issue and deliver better healthcare a telemedicine web application called eDoctor, is created.
