Abstract

The integration of telehealth in Indian nursing practice is gaining momentum, especially post-COVID-19, to improve healthcare accessibility and quality. This review critically examines the scope of telehealth within Indian nursing, highlighting the challenges nurses face, including infrastructural limitations, digital literacy gaps, cultural diversity, and regulatory concerns. It further discusses educational shortcomings and ethical considerations inherent to virtual healthcare. By analyzing global telehealth frameworks and aligning them with India’s healthcare context, this paper proposes strategic recommendations to enhance nursing preparedness and telehealth sustainability.
