Explanation:

Summarily, the World Health Organization (WHO) defines Telehealth as the 'incorporation of Information Communication Technology in the delivery of health care services in situations where patients and health care providers are separated by distance'. Emergency health situations that make it difficult to quickly access medical help can benefit from Telehealth.

In the cases of a pandemic such as the one experienced in 2020, where hospitals were filled to the brim, telehealth proved to be a useful form of health care delivery.
