The purpose of this Note for Guidance is to serve as a non-binding and evolving resource for members when considering their role in supporting telemedicine-related activities.

The overall intention of this Note for Guidance is that the cooperation between companies, healthcare professionals (HCPs), and other stakeholders is always based on high ethical standards and clearly aims to benefit patients. Moreover, IFPMA acknowledges and commits to supporting the World Medical Association (WMA) Statement on the Ethics of Telemedicine, with a view to a closer collaboration to develop ethical norms and practice guidelines in this evolving space as appropriate.
