| Abstract | ||
| Telemedicine is emerging as a vital strategy for maintaining continuity of care during public‑health crises, yet its adoption in Egypt has been uneven. This study combines a narrative literature review with a nationwide survey of 382 physicians, pharmacists and nurses to assess readiness, perceived benefits and implementation barriers. Results show that 74 % of respondents recognise telemedicine’s potential to expand access, but only 28 % use it routinely—largely because of limited training, unclear reimbursement and medico‑legal uncertainty. Infrastructure constraints (poor bandwidth and device availability) and patient‑side digital illiteracy also impede uptake. The study proposes a three‑pillar roadmap—policy reform, workforce development and technology investment—to accelerate safe, equitable telehealth deployment beyond the COVID‑19 era. | ||
