The Vital Role of Women in Telehealth: Enhancing Access, Equity, and Quality of Care
Telehealth has become a revolutionary instrument in contemporary healthcare, enhancing accessibility, efficiency, and patient outcomes.Women have been essential in this digital change, serving as healthcare professionals, carers, inventors, and policymakers.Their participation has improved healthcare accessible, especially for marginalised people, while also guaranteeing the provision of patientcentered and high-quality care.This paper explores the role of women in telehealth, highlighting their contributions, challenges, and opportunities.Despite challenges such as gender inequities in leadership and the digital gap, focused initiatives can enable women to propel advancements in telehealth.By identifying and addressing these obstacles, women can establish a more inclusive and efficient telehealth environment.The involvement of women in telehealth is crucial for improving access, equity, and the quality of treatment.
