    Rural communities face barriers to healthcare access due to long travel distances to clinics. Digital health technologies can help overcome these barriers by enabling remote patient monitoring, personalized communication between patients and doctors, and two-way virtual consultations. This keeps rural communities conveniently connected to care. The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in healthcare provides rural populations with easier access to doctors and services, reduces travel times which can be hours to the nearest clinic, and allows patients to more easily manage appointments and follow-ups, including connecting to specialists anywhere. ICT helps connect remote populations to quality healthcare facilities.
