Telemedicine is Changing Healthcare in Rural India

Across India, millions of people are dependent on government-run healthcare facilities which serve up to 100,000 people per centre. Ensuring accessible and quality care has proven a challenge due to infrastructural problems, healthcare practitioner shortages, the rising cost of treatment and a lack of education and prevention awareness.
