Abstract: Telemedicine supports both patient care and continuing education of healthcare professionals. Medical knowledge is prone to quick obsolescence, requiring healthcare professionals to regularly update with the rapidly evolving medical field. Healthcare professionals can use telemedicine facilities to build capacity and provide evidence-based patient care. Herein, we describe how the Central Regional Referral Hospital and the World Telehealth Initiative established telehealth infrastructure in the hospital that brings together global experts and local healthcare professionals to enhance patient care through Continuing Medical Education and training.
