Telemedicine Adoption in Low-Resource Settings: Barriers Beyond Infrastructure. Journal of Health Sciences Perspective. 1405; 2 (3) :45-47
چکیده: (370 مشاهده)
Telemedicine adoption in low-resource settings (LRS) has accelerated since the COVID-19 pandemic, accompanied by substantial investment in digital health infrastructure. However, persistent low uptake across sub-Saharan Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and rural middle-income regions suggests that connectivity and hardware access alone are insufficient. This letter argues that non-infrastructural barriers including digital health literacy deficits among patients and providers, cultural preferences for face-to-face care and mistrust of virtual consultations, regulatory and policy gaps around licensure, liability, and data privacy, and socioeconomic and gender-based inequities in technology access are critical and often overlooked determinants of telemedicine uptake. Addressing these barriers requires a multi-dimensional policy framework that integrates digital literacy training, culturally adapted platforms, national regulatory structures, and targeted financial support for underserved populations.
