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 will focus on existing DPG telemedicine platforms, their use cases, and the benefits of adopting non-proprietary, community-driven solutions to enhance healthcare delivery, particularly in resource-constrained settings.
Expected Outcomes
By the end of the webinar, participants will:
- Gain a clear understanding of Digital Public Goods and their role in enhancing global health systems.
- Learn about leading DPG telemedicine platforms and their real-world applications in improving healthcare access and quality.
- Understand the steps needed to implement, scale, and sustain telemedicine DPGs in diverse settings.
- Understand the cost of implementing DPGs and how opensource does not mean “free”
- Take away actionable insights on how healthcare systems can benefit from adopting open-source telemedicine platforms for greater accessibility and efficiency.
