Abstract
The need for e-health systems in countries like ours cannot be over emphasized as there is a serious Medical Practitioners brain drain. Medical Practitioners for lack of conducive work environment, lack of facilities, unpaid dues among other basic needs go in search for greener pasture thereby decreasing the WHO defined doctor-to-population ratio of 1:600 to 1:4000-5000 representing a difference of 3400-4400 population burden on a doctor. This means that the few Medical Practitioners available will be over stressed and therefore giving attention to quality number of patients would be impossible hence this study. This telemedicine system is developed to fill the gap created by the result of Medical Practitioners brain drain. This is to say that with the adoption of telemedicine, foreign medical experts including the Nigerian emigrated doctors can be reached and be of help to the medical sector while they fix the cause of brain drain in the country. It is one major means to bringing to the doorsteps of the Nigeria populace that falls short of the WHO recommended doctor-to-population ratio of 1:600. This telemedicine system was implemented using Spyder ->Python, Microsoft Visual Studio Code -> JavaScript, PHP, AJAX, CSS
