Abstract
The use of telemedicine in penitentiary centers (PCs) is an effective measure to improve quality access to specialized care (secondary prevention) and reduces the inherent costs derived from physical consultations of inmates in hospitals. Regarding the project of our Community Health Service, we enthusiastically began a gastroenterology teleconsultation in our PC at the end of 2020. This modality completes the monthly/on-demand hepatology consultation carried out in this PC since 2015.
