Posted by Hrushikesh Dudhane on December 24th, 2020

The global telehealth market is slated to reach USD 266.8 billion 2026, exhibiting a CAGR of 23.4% during the forecast period. One of the main drivers of this is the high prevalence of stark inequalities in rural healthcare, especially in developing and underdeveloped countries where majority of the population lives in villages. For example, the World Health Organization Health Report 2018 states that in 2015, 303,000 women died across the world due to poor pre and post- natal healthcare.

More importantly, 99% of these deaths occurred in low and middle-income countries; 64% of those happened in Sub-Saharan Africa. This situation is a result of low levels of socio-economic development, owing to which governments in these countries are unable to bring modern healthcare facilities to the rural poor. This is where telehealth services can come to the fore and many governments today are utilizing them to improve health of their citizens.
