Abstract:
In this paper, it will be discussed on how the implementation of telemedicine and digital healthcare in Indonesia
is compared to United Kingdom in 2019-2022 and whether globalization truly plays a huge role on leveling the
field in digitalizing healthcare in UK as a developed country and Indonesia as a developing country. Through
this throughout view, we can see how each country behave and develop in their own digitalization process and
whether globalization provide a level-playing field for both developed and developing countries by looking at
each country’s individual history of telemedicine itself and the growth it experienced especially during the
COVID-19 Pandemic, each country’s regulation, law, and ethics are also needed plus objective of each country
regarding the digitalization of their healthcare as. The head start that developed countries have, does not equal
to faster progression and development. While COVID-19 pandemic acts as a catalyst to further the digitalization
of their own healthcare in which both countries have their own issues and obstacles to tackle with as globalization
in some way, does contribute to leveling the playing field between the developed and developing countries.
