“The roll-out across Africa of Elon Musk’s Starlink internet service could help speed the adoption of telehealth services on the continent.

The tech tycoon’s satellite internet offering has been launched in 15 African nations since the start of 2023, bringing reliable high-speed internet to previously unconnected remote areas.

Its arrival has also led some local providers to respond with a price war, cutting costs for users to compete with the satellite arm of Mr Musk’s SpaceX venture.

Starlink could now help boost online telehealth services which give patients consultations and treatment remotely online, Reuters reported.”
