ABSTRACT:

Background

While telemedicine has become an established component of healthcare delivery globally, challenges to scaling emerging initiatives persist across multiple levels. Over the last 5 years, our team has developed a pediatric telemedicine and medication delivery service (TMDS) in Haiti that integrates clinical guidance with rapid access to medications.
