Telemedicine in Action
A Webinar Series on Telemedicine for Healthcare in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (In Collaboration with WHO SEARO)
We are pleased to announce a new collaboration between the World Health Organization South-East Asia Regional Office (WHO SEARO) and Intelehealth to convene a series of webinars on the transformative role of telemedicine in advancing health equity in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Through these sessions, we will explore how telemedicine can strengthen health systems, expand access to quality care, and drive progress toward universal health coverage across the region. Telemedicine is revolutionizing healthcare by bringing medical expertise to those who need it most. In many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), 40% of healthcare facilities lack essential services, forcing patients to travel long distances for care. For many, this means losing wages they can’t afford, leading them to forgo treatment for preventable illnesses—sometimes with fatal consequences. Women face even greater barriers, with 90% unable to make independent healthcare decisions and many citing cost and distance as reasons for delaying care. Telemedicine helps overcome these challenges by making healthcare more accessible, affordable, and effective. Through our partnership with WHO SEARO, we are working to help governments integrate telemedicine into national health systems, ensuring that quality healthcare is a right, not a privilege. This comprehensive webinar series is designed to equip governments, healthcare leaders and medical professionals with the knowledge, tools, and best practices to develop successful, scalable, standards-compliant telemedicine programs. In alignment with WHO’s mission to promote health and serve the vulnerable, and Intelehealth’s vision of ensuring healthcare access where there is no doctor, this partnership aims to transform healthcare equity worldwide, bringing life-saving care to millions—no matter where they live.The webinars will be on the first or second Thursday of every month, you can register for the upcoming webinars and can also access recordings of previous webinars below.
