The Promotion of Telemedicine techniques in health sector of Pakistan

Abstract

The research has been compiled to assist the people of rural regions of the country and to see where they can get medical attention without the need of visiting doctors in larger cities. The research involves the feasibility of the service in the rural area and encircles the marketability of the service itself to the masses which are in need of such a service. The issues of the current scenario are that the larger proportion of the population is deprived of the medical facility and this has rendered the population in the region somewhat characterized as a plague struck populace. There is always a need of health care in every society and the most prone people to diseases are the women and children. The data was collected in different regions, and has been stratified in order to keep the regions clear of one another. As the responses were very similar in all regions, it called for the compilation of the data as one single unit so that the analysis of the data could be made easier. The people responded to such a service favorably and have a much trusty behavior towards such facility provided that it is incorporated in the country to facilitate the people that comprise our agricultural workforce or people who make a living through cattle herding, and other activities which are not feasible in urban areas. The current technological licensing as issued by PTA is much regarded in the success of this project since it would have been impossible to cover a large area and connect them together without the relative equipment which is necessary to carry out the respective health services as desired.
