摘要
A significant worldwide need exists for humanitarian assistance in the spacialty of otolaryngology. The field of telehealth has provided applications that have successfully expanded access to care in many fields of medicine, in both developed and developing countries. Collaboration, planning, and persistence are essential to developing successful telehealth applications. This article describes the need for otolaryngologic specialty care, current humanitarian outreach within the field of otolaryngology, and examples of successful programs that incorporate telehealth in otolaryngology care.
