Telemedicine is defined as on-line delivery of health care services (diagnosis, treatment and follow-up) through communications technology devices as smartphones, laptops or androids using telecommunication facilities. All over the last few years, many studies conducted to evaluate the value of application of telemedicine in neonatal disorders like retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), tele-echocardiography, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), neonatal resuscitation and family support after discharge from NICUs. In this editorial we will highlight the application of telemedicine use in neonatal resuscitation either in the delivery room or in NRP Programs. In conclusion: Telemedicine application in neonatology is a rapidly progressing and becoming integrated into health care services as a way to facilitate access for many neonatal disorders like retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), tele-echocardiography, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), neonatal resuscitation and family support after discharge from NICUs. We need more studies in Egypt to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of this modality of health care service.
