Abstract
Important components of global health are electronic health (e-Health) and the use of Internet space for the treatment of patients –(Telemedicine) In recent years, the purchase of medicines online has become topical (online pharmacy). The opportunity to purchase medicines online has been around since the 1990s. It has become especially relevant today when the whole world is fighting COWID-19 disease caused by Sars Cov 2 virus. After the decision was made by the Public Health Centers to improve the spread of the infection and prevent the disease, the best defense would be social distancing and quarantine - therefore, in the last few months, worldwide, the use of online pharmacy has increased even more, including in Georgia as well. Online sales of medicines in Georgia are provided by pharmacy chains - PSP and Aversi. In many cases, online pharmacy owners themselves are also pharmaceutical manufacturers, which helps to reduce the price of the drug and, consequently, increase the availability.
