摘要：Telemedicine can be broadly described as the use of telecommunications and information technologies to deliver healthcare services at a distance. It is most useful in the development of rural area, where availability of doctors and health facilities are very less. Recent research shows that the telemedicine has improved the general health care (especially in the rural areas) in whole the word. This paper proposed a framework for the use of telemedicine to improve general healthcare in the Yobe State, where approximately 60 percent of whole the state comes under the rural sector. We also perform a case study taking consideration of all 17 Local Government Area (LGA), 12 secondary hospitals, medical staff and population of state. Based on the facts, we find that the telemedicine is essential to improve the healthcare in Yobe State Hospitals
