dc.description.abstractTelerehabilitation in neurosurgical care for LMICs offers a transformative solution, dramatically reducing healthcare costs, improving access, and maintaining the quality of care. With proven effectiveness across large patient populations, telemedicine bridges critical gaps in neurosurgical treatment, highlighting an urgent global need to scale its implementation. This technology could revolutionize healthcare in resource-limited settings, mitigating the geographic, financial, and infrastructural barriers that have long hindered equitable neurosurgical care worldwide.
