INTERNATIONAL HOSPITAL FEDERATION ‘TALKING HEALTHCARE’ PODCAST

One of the biggest ‘service shifts’ in the healthcare sector since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the widespread adoption of telehealth. As well as being a viable option to provide continuity of care and treatment to patients during the coronavirus pandemic, telehealth has transformed how health systems can respond to chronic workforce shortages and optimise their clinical capacities.

For the International Hospital Federation’s first Talking Healthcare podcast in 2022, they have invited Sharon Allen, Executive Director of World Telehealth Initiative and Dr. Amit Thakker, President of the Africa Healthcare Federation, to discuss the challenges and opportunities of telehealth for Africa’s diverse healthcare systems.
