The right people, in the right place—assessing the impact of a new outreach model for paediatric neurology specialist services in Myanmar

This evaluation demonstrates that a hybrid outreach and telemedicine model can deliver accessible, high-quality, and cost-effective paediatric neurology services in a low-resource setting. By leveraging existing national infrastructure and integrating local providers, the model improved access to specialist care, reduced financial barriers for families, and contributed to the long-term capacity of the system. The approach offers a scalable framework for other specialities and health systems facing similar constraints and supports progress towards universal health coverage.

Abstract

This evaluation demonstrates that a hybrid outreach and telemedicine model can deliver accessible, high-quality, and cost-effective paediatric neurology services in a low-resource setting. By leveraging existing national infrastructure and integrating local providers, the model improved access to specialist care, reduced financial barriers for families, and contributed to the long-term capacity of the system. The approach offers a scalable framework for other specialities and health systems facing similar constraints and supports progress towards universal health coverage.
