Patients can now order medicines from the comfort of their homes and have them delivered to their doorstep without the need to visit a physical pharmacy. This has been especially useful for patients who live in distant places or have mobility issues. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has also played a role in the growth of the E-Pharmacy market.
