Scheduled clinical consults

World Telehealth Initiative’s supporting physicians provide access to specialty healthcare not otherwise available. Patients in need of these services are scheduled for a telemedicine consultation at their local clinic. At the predetermined time, the volunteer physician evaluates the patient’s condition via a live virtual exam and works with the local provider to establish a care plan. Every encounter offers an opportunity for the local providers to increase their knowledge and acquire new skills, while enabling access to advanced healthcare for the patient.

Example: Cox’s Bazar and the Rohingya refugee camp, Bangladesh

Over 30 physicians of various specialties support local healthcare professionals and provide quality care for these communities. Over the past five years, Bangladeshi physicians have expanded their knowledge in other specialties and are equipped to address more health challenges in their community.
