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
- Equip participants with knowledge about cost components and financing models for telemedicine.
- Explain how to build a business case for telemedicine investment.
- Share global examples of successful financing strategies.
Expected Outcomes
Participants will:
- Understand the full cost structure of implementing and operating telemedicine services.
- Explore different financing mechanisms: patient paying for services, public/government funding, including public-private partnerships, insurance reimbursement, and donor funding.
- Learn how to estimate and communicate the ROI of telemedicine interventions.
