Online pharmacies offer a convenient way for customers to purchase medications and healthcare products without the need to visit physical stores, especially in remote areas with limited access to healthcare facilities.

As more people gain access to smartphones and the internet, the potential for digital health solutions to reach a wider audience and make a positive impact on healthcare delivery in the region continues to grow. Additionally, government initiatives and investments in healthcare technology are further driving the expansion of the Digital Treatment & Care market in the Caribbean.
