Context: As telemedicine programs scale across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), it is essential to rigorously evaluate their effectiveness, cost-efficiency, and impact on health systems and health outcomes. Policymakers and implementers alike need robust evidence to guide decisions on scaling, improving, or adapting these interventions. This webinar aims to unpack the current body of evidence on telemedicine in LMICs and explore appropriate methodologies for evaluation in diverse contexts.
Objectives: The session aims to inform healthcare policymakers and professionals about the evolving legal landscape of telemedicine, offering insights from policymakers, legal experts, and telemedicine practitioners on how to navigate regulatory challenges and opportunities.
Expected Outcomes: By the end of the webinar, participants will:
- Gain a comprehensive understanding of how telemedicine is regulated across South and Southeast Asia.
- Learn about legal considerations for telemedicine, including data privacy, liability, and cross-border regulations.
- Explore case studies of successful telemedicine regulatory frameworks and understand how policymakers can navigate challenges.
