Abstract
Humanitarian crises frequently garner solidarity and robust volunteer recruitment among health care communities. However, a common obstacle is matching providers to those in need across geographic and other barriers. We examined the application of a decentralised governance strategy in establishing an emergency telemedicine response, TeleHelp Ukraine (THU). Using a case study approach, we explored how global networking and technological advancements empower organisations to generate, access, disseminate, and utilise knowledge for sustainable health care delivery. Preliminary results suggest that a non-profit, decentralised model strengthened by robust team dynamics may optimise the distribution of clinical workload and scheduling procedures. Institutional and cultural diversity among health care providers and volunteers fosters the mobilisation of knowledge resources, synergistic collaboration, and tailored care standards that align with both provider and patient expectations. By integrating these diverse, distributed networks, a synergistic effect is achieved, combining effective learning mechanisms with intellectual capital. Our study provides insights into the structure, implementation strategies, dissemination methodologies, and initial results of THU's operation. These findings may inform future emergency telemedicine responses in humanitarian scenarios, thereby reinforcing the practical implementation of health as a human right.
