Abstract
The article is aimed at remote provision of health services (telemedicine) and its reflection in the Czech legal system. In the last two years, there has been a lively debate in the legal and medical professional community as to whether the remote provision of health services is currently permissible under the legislation enshrined in Act No. 372/2011 Coll., on Health Services and Conditions of their Provision (Health Services Act).
A certain part of the professional community believes that it is permissible and practices telemedicine routinely. However, we are of the opinion that the situation is more complex and the current legislation does not give sufficient background for its common practice.
It is therefore necessary to adopt an amendment that will regulate this modern trend in medicine and provide physicians with sufficient background for their practice.
