The telemedicine system, which has been gradually introduced, has changed dramatically with the outbreak of COVID-19. Now, with the development of related laws and technologies, the introduction of telemedicine will be further accelerated, and like the advent of smartphones, this will become an unstoppable trend of the times. However, just as there are various crimes and corruption problems in the current health system, the introduction of telemedicine may bring other problems. Therefore, it is important to anticipate the types of corruption or crimes that will occur with the introduction of telemedicine. And based on these expectations, we will have an opportunity to properly prepare for the various problems associated with telemedicine.

Background: Since the 2003 United States–British Coalition military invasion, Iraq has been in a state of continuous deterioration at all levels, including the health sector. This study aimed to elicit the viewpoints of the Iraqi people on the current health system, focusing on many provided health services and assessing whether the public prefers the current health system or that was provided before the invasion. Methods: A cross-sectional survey designed to explore the Iraqi people’s opinions on their health system. A self-administered questionnaire using a multi-stage sampling technique was distributed in five geographical regions in Iraq to collect the data from the head of household between 1st October and 31st of December 2019. Multiple logistic regressions were recruited to determine the significant contributing variables in this study. Results: A total of 365 heads of households (response rate: 71.7%) with the mean age of 48.36 + 11.92 years (ranged 35-78) included in the study. Most of the respondents (61.4%) complained of healthcare inaccessibility, 59.7% believed that health resources were not available, 53.7% claimed a deterioration in the quality of care, and 62.2% believed that the political / media position did not contribute to positive changes during the past two decades. Indeed, most respondents (66.0%) believe that the current healthcare system is worse than before. In the multivariate analysis, there was a statistically significant relationship between the characteristics and opinions of the respondents. Young age group (p = 0.003), men (p = < 0.001), unmarried (p = 0.001), high educated (p = < 0.001), rural resident (p = < 0.001), unemployed (p = 0.003), monthly income of less than USD 400 (p = < 0.001), consider themselves to be unhealthy (p = 0.001),  and those who think that people are unhappy now than two decades ago (p = 0.012) have a more negative opinion of the health system. Conclusions: Most Iraqis surveyed expressed disappointment from the health system after the 2003 US-led invasion. The current health system is faltering at all levels and does not meet the citizens' basic needs. Health Transformation Program (HTP) has become inevitable to develop an accessible, affordable, high-quality, efficient, and effective health system.

Telemedicine was implemented as a way in trying to provide universal health access to the whole population. Method: Various Municipal Health Secretariats underwent agreements in order to establish a integrated and specialized medical consultancy network, using teleconference technologies and online pronctuary to accomplish it, allowing a specialized doctor located at the capital to guide and observe a generalist medic through the physical examination and therapeutic conduction. The system kept register of consultations to the ones who had its secret passwords. Results/Discussion: Telemedicine system was able to cover an area of up to 36.133.135 km2, allow up to 674.770 people to have access to specialized health, perform 1125 medical consultations in seven months; which diminished the queue from five years to three months of waiting for clinical examination. In addition, the consultations have kept a good quality for the whole health team and the patients, who could receive correct diagnosis on the first consult most of the times, as well as received longitudinal attendance. Conclusion: Telemedicine is an effective, secure and revolutionary alternative to grant universal health access to distant populations.

Although COVID-19 pandemic has created a state of alarm worldwide, the downfall in health and economy is rather paramount in low income countries. Nepal, due to its inadequate health resources and poor health system, is more vulnerable to the plight. But on a positive note, the weaknesses that have been exposed can be taken as lessons to learn. With the policies committed to achieving health as the fundamental right of people as per the constitution, capacity building, intersectoral coordination, preventive, promotive and curative facilities, and appropriate strategies and preparedness plan, Nepal can combat the pandemic and develop a resilient and well-functioning health system in future. Now is a moment of historic opportunity. Public health program must be strengthened as soon as possible by ensuring that at least minimum requirement are in place at the province and municipality levels and media partnership should be created to prevent societal fear. Furthermore, this is an opportunity to implement the power devolution in federal republic of Nepal

The Future

A brief overview of the Australian health system is followed by an outline of current health policy, focusing on the Government's reform agenda and its commitment to women's health. The growing emphasis on an evidence-based approach to policy development, and collaborations across health and other sectors, is discussed. The focus is on Australia's response to a particular women's health issue as an example of evidence-based policy development. Any predictions for the future must recognise that many of the causal factors of ill health lie outside the control of the health system, and take into account the growing opportunities for change through innovations and reforms in the health system, and through collaborations with other sectors.
