Abstract
Telemedicine has emerged as a transformative force in healthcare delivery, particularly in improving healthcare accessibility. This comprehensive review examines the impact of telemedicine on healthcare accessibility, exploring its ability to overcome geographical, financial, sociocultural, and infrastructural barriers to healthcare access. Through remote consultations, monitoring, and diagnosis facilitated by technology, telemedicine extends healthcare reach to remote and underserved areas while enhancing temporal accessibility with round-the-clock availability. By streamlining healthcare delivery systems, telemedicine reduces costs and promotes efficiency, ultimately fostering health equity and improving health outcomes. However, technological barriers, regulatory hurdles, and patient acceptance remain. To realize telemedicine's full potential, collaboration among stakeholders in the healthcare and technology sectors is imperative. Policymakers must enact supportive regulations, healthcare providers must integrate telemedicine into their practices, and technology companies must innovate to develop user-friendly platforms. Through concerted efforts, telemedicine can catalyze advancing healthcare accessibility and enhance the health and well-being of individuals worldwide.
