The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has brought a dramatic shift from in-person healthcare visits to telehealth services around the world, unveiling a new normal for providing healthcare services. Our global healthcare industry team authored a LawFlash to highlight how regions, including the United States, China, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates, around the world have quickly adapted to providing telehealth services as a means to prevent exposure to COVID-19 and allow for patients to get in the in-person care they need.

Companies beyond just healthcare and life sciences should be aware of the relevant regulatory and legal requirements to avoid enforcement and liability requests.
