Many government agencies and health organisations in Sub-Saharan Africa are keeping a close eye on telemedicine advancements. The current hurdles and triumphs in the implementation of telemedicine programmes in Sub-Saharan Africa are examined in this narrative literature review. In Sub-Saharan Africa, cultural differences, financial, organisational, technological, and legal concerns are all major roadblocks to telemedicine development. Despite the fact that many rural African hospitals lack staff and space in surgical outpatient clinics, there are still barriers to telemedicine's progress and deployment in the surgical profession and beyond in this region. The goal of this study was to look into current trends in the use of telemedicine in the region, as well as significant impediments that healthcare decision-makers should be aware of. In order to foster long-term use and widespread adoption of telemedicine in Sub-Saharan Africa, a number of recommendations are offered. More research is needed to identify the use of digital health technologies in the region and its impact on the local health care systems.
