Today, telehealth must be understood as a necessary intervention in terms of public health, with a more comprehensive and inclusive approach, especially in countries in the region where there are inequalities of all kinds, and to promote more equitable, accessible and quality health care.
One of the greatest deficiencies detected in the countries of the region is not having an adequate technological environment specifically designed to make the different telehealth services available from a single solution.
Based on this, PAHO proposes its telehealth program, which has been planned from a systemic vision, to offer a versatile solution for adoption, adaptable and usable. This program is based on a package of resources to address the different realities faced by health services to reduce inequalities and position people at the center of their health care.
