Bridging Distances, Delivering Care, Telehealth:  A Digital Lifeline for Mothers in Remote Nepal

In Nepal’s most remote regions, where healthcare access is scarce and maternal education
even rarer, technology is quietly reshaping the way we care for mothers-to-be—one virtual
consultation at a time through telehealth.

Working with Smart Health Global has been one of the most meaningful chapters of my
medical journey. As a volunteer medical officer, I’ve had the opportunity to provide antenatal
consultations through telehealth to women living in some of Nepal’s most remote regions—
places where access to even basic healthcare is rare, and health education is often
nonexistent.

With the help of a digital toolkit provided by Smart Health Global, I conduct video consultations
in partnership with local healthcare workers stationed at rural health posts. While I join virtually,
these frontline workers serve as my hands and eyes on the ground—assisting with physical
exams, reporting findings, and following through on care recommendations.
