Installation of telecommunication devices allow MHVs to consult specialists located at hospitals and healthcare facilities in cities. This enables MHVs to provide specialty care services such as tele-ophthalmology, tele-dermatology, tele-radiology along with primary care. It also helps address shortage of trained doctors and paramedics in rural areas. Many developing nations are implementing telemedicine programs involving MHVs to improve availability of essential and emergency healthcare services for remote populations.
