Remote Consulting for Healthcare
Remote Consulting involves clinical communication between someone with a health need and a healthcare worker using some form of digital communication such as a mobile phone or tablet. Remote Consulting has potential to improve access to quality healthcare, particularly for communities with minimal access to health services in low- and middle-income counties. Our collaborating partners are working together to develop training to support its delivery during and beyond COVID-19. Read more about our work here.
Policy Briefs
Our results help us understand existing models of health service and helps us to identify interventions that can ensure access to quality and affordable healthcare for all residents of slum areas.
The APHRC developed a briefing paper for use in a dissemination webinar that can be read here
