| description | Telemedicine is the delivery of healthcare services using information and communication technologies (ICT) to its users. Mobile communications in telemedicine or Mobile health (mHealth) is the most commonly accepted mode of telemedicine in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) due to its affordability and user-friendly features. Telemedicine may be used to treat, prevent and monitor health conditions; as well as to promote health and educate clients. Access to medical and rehabilitation services in LMICs may be limited due to the lack of expertise, geographical locations, and sociocultural issues. Telerehabilitation (TR) may be a practical solution to circumvent these barriers in LMICs. TR providers must possess the necessary knowledge, skills, and expertise to deliver quality TR services to clients while ensuring patient safety and adhering to medical ethics and regulations. Policymakers and administrators should ensure vulnerable groups are included when making policies on healthcare services. Changes must be made to existing policies on telemedicine, in order to include all stakeholders in TR and overcome human, organizational, and technical challenges in LMICs. |
