Abstract

Senegal is located in West Africa where health care resources are extremely limited. Although it is improving each day, many say that an even bigger improvement is needed to decrease the high mortality rate, and ensure good health countrywide. Several factors justify the efficient application of Telemedicine in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA)  to augment the declining health care delivery system in that region of the world. In doing research, telemedicine, along with other solutions, play a huge role in ensuring this plan is effective because of its convenience and benefits. In recent years, the use of telemedicine has become increasingly popular in countries like Senegal. Telemedicine is significant because of its ability to transmit the needed information promptly. Besides, it is a means to communicate and care for patients having limited access to health care at efficient and personalized level. Over the years, the use of telemedicine has extended to several countries and the technology continues to improve each day.

Abstract

Telemedicine is the diagnosis and treatment of patients by the use of telecommunications technology. Telemedicine has become a popular technological development for long-distance health care and continuing education.Telemedicine is used to assist with giving aid in rural and remote areas that can’t afford real medical help.  In a country like Uganda that has a population of roughly 33 million people and a little over 130 districts, the rate of HIV/AIDS are rising and leaving the life expectancy to about 53 years old. Similar to countries in Africa, Uganda has a very poor healthcare. Most residents of Uganda do not live near healthcare facilities and those who do live nearby may find healthcare unaffordable.This paper captures the different case studies that have benefited Uganda, the current status of telemedicine in Uganda, and what can possibly happen in the nearest future with the rise in the use of technology in telemedicine as well as the infrastructure and need for telemedicine.
