Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance and utility of telemedicine in providing a way to connect patients and healthcare professionals when an in-person consultation is not possible in rural areas. A systematic review of Telemedicine and its impact on rural healthcare in times of COVID-19 was carried out from 2016 to 2021. The search strategy identified 1480 papers from digital libraries such as Google Scholar, ACM Digital Library, ProQuest, ARDI, Taylor & Francis Online, Wiley Online Libray and Microsoft Academic. Then 71 papers were considered based on exclusion criteria. The results of the systematic review have focused on recent studies of Telemedicine where it highlights the importance in the care of patients in rural areas also provides statistical graphs of the extracted studies to compare by relevance to their settings and situations.
