Healthline and telehealth are vital, not a threat

Properly integrated telehealth relieves pressure and improves access to a health system on life support, according to Whakarongorau Aotearoa chief clinical officer Ruth Large [Image: Annie Spratt on Unsplash]

Recent claims that Healthline provides directions rather than real healthcare advice are misleading. Instead of dissing the service, we should recognise the innovation already happening and harness it to strengthen care for all, argues Ruth Large

Recent comments that Healthline only advises on where to go for support are simplistic, misrepresentative and unhelpful for the people of Aotearoa.
