摘要：
This article explores the potential of telemedicine to revolutionize maternal and perinatal healthcare delivery in rural Nepal, where access to medical facilities is limited. By utilizing telemedicine technologies like remote consultations, mobile health applications, and tele-ultrasound, the authors can overcome barriers to healthcare access and improve outcomes for expectant mothers and newborns. The paper assesses the opportunities presented by telemedicine interventions and addresses the challenges that must be addressed for successful integration into rural healthcare systems.
