This thesis presents data obtained as a result of a set of three studies included in my Ph.D. research.
This thesis is structured in five chapters. The first chapter provides insight into previous knowledge regarding the role of digital health in the global health topic. It also includes the objectives and aims of this thesis.
The second chapter presents the results of the first study, a systematic review performed on the National Telemedicine Programs in the African SIDS (Cabo Verde, Comoros, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritius, Sao Tome and Principe, and Seychelles).
The third chapter comprises the second study, where a case study approach is used to better understand the implementation and deployment of telemedicine in Sao Tome and Principe. This work was published in an international journal (i).
The fourth chapter, addresses the third study, where it exploits a case study approach combined with the AAAQ (availability, accessibility, acceptability, and quality) health workforce framework for assessing the STP telemedicine program.
Chapter five encloses an overall discussion and conclusions of the studies performed, together with the limitations, recommendations and future perspectives of the work developed.
