Abstract
Technology and telemedicine are needed to provide the necessary solutions for public health in rural areas. Lack of stable internet access and digital literacy hinders the effective use of telemedicine. Governments and service providers can work together to extend coverage, increase internet speed in rural areas, and provide training and education to ensure adequate digital literacy.
