much of money will include the fees of equipment, management, physician. Thus, it is
economically benefitted for the hospital. Tele-psychiatry can impact the quality of care of patient
and job of medical staff cannot be preserved and would not be able to maintain it financially.

service fails to give necessary clinical consultation as in-person service provides better care to
the patient by the psychiatry.

their job, need huge amount of investment. Other country is leading toward success for its
implementation but some are facing the issue of investment. Saudi Arabia goal to become the
