While the outbreak of the pandemic has adversely impacted the health rights of the people in the world at large, this research seeks to focus on an involvement a comprehensive and comparative analysis of the legal and ethical framework of the TELEMEDICINE - for safeguarding patient rights vis-à-vis the COVID-19 Pandemic. The aim of suggesting an ideal framework to safeguard patient rights especially in the context of a pandemic will be also proposed. While limitations of patient rights are justifiable to an extent and essential in public health exigencies, it is equally important that patient rights be respected in order to preserve citizens’ confidence in the electronic healthcare system.
