Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has put a tremendous burden on the medical community
and brought a great number of accompanying issues, as well as other closely associated diseases.
The response to this public health and medical challenge was outstanding. However, dealing with the
COVID-19 pandemic and various issues brought on by the earthquake was successfully facilitated by the
use of teledermatology. This innovative technology enabled dermatovenereologists to stay in continuous
touch with their patients and provide much needed care and assistance in difficult circumstances caused
by several crises.
