Abstract: Social media has become an influential tool in the health care system, offering various benefits and opportunities both health care providers and patients. It facilitates communication and information dissemination, allowing healthcare professionals to share medical information, communicate with patients and collaborate with peers. Patients use social networks to seek medical care, share their experiences, and access supportive communities. Social media also participate in public health campaigns, help spread awareness about health problems and preventive measures. Additionally, it serves as a platform for telemedicine and remote monitoring, improving accessibility and convenience for patients. Despite the benefits, the use of social media in health care also raises concerns about privacy, data security, and the accuracy of medical information shared online. Therefore, it is important to navigate these challenges carefully to maximize the positive impact of social media on the healthcare system[1].
