Telemedicine for Urologic Care in Rural Nigeria
Sponsor: University of California, San Francisco
Summary
Access to urologic care in rural Nigeria is not as robust as it needs to be given the size of the population. This study will employ two research groups in rural Northern Nigeria. One group will receive urologic care via standard, in-person consultation. The second group will receive urologic care via telemedicine consultation. The main aim of this study is to assess whether telemedicine improves access to urologic care in these populations. Secondly, the investigators will assess patient satisfaction with their intervention via survey data.
