Health inequity: Possibilities of initiating pulmonary telerehabilitation programs for adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders in conflict and low-resourced areas; A mixed-method phenomenological study

This study identified the national, institutional, and professional challenges and opportunities of launching PTR programs in conflict and low-resourced areas, including the conflict's consequences, insufficient resources, and absence of a structured healthcare system and clinical practice guidelines. Promoting health equity in such areas necessitates that the international community and institutions isolate the healthcare sector from conflicts and apply more effective strategies. The study also illustrated the characteristics of the intended PTR programs, including mHealth, therapeutic devices, and hybrid programs along with supporting professional organizations' guidelines.
