Rural communities face unique challenges in accessing healthcare services, leading to significant health disparities compared to urban areas. Telehealth initiatives have emerged as a promising solution to bridge this gap and improve healthcare access in rural areas. This review article aims to explore the current landscape of telehealth initiatives targeted at addressing health disparities in rural communities. The study will examine the effectiveness of various telehealth interventions, including telemedicine, remote monitoring, and telepsychiatry, in improving health outcomes and reducing disparities in rural populations. Additionally, the review will analyze the barriers and facilitators to the implementation of telehealth programs in rural settings, considering factors such as technology infrastructure, reimbursement policies, and patient acceptance. Furthermore, the article will discuss the role of healthcare providers, policymakers, and community stakeholders in supporting and promoting telehealth initiatives to enhance healthcare access and quality in rural areas. By synthesizing existing literature and highlighting best practices, this review aims to inform future research directions and policy recommendations for leveraging telehealth to address health disparities in rural communities.
