A qualitative approach has been adopted in this paper. The review of documents taken from the Yemeni Ministry of Public Health, among others, revealed the lack of health facilities, professionals, equipment, and funds; inequity in the distribution of health facilities, professionals, and equipment between urban and rural; and lack of unified health information system and unified database. The observation revealed three categories of needs: needs in the provision of healthcare services, health professionals� needs; and needs in health management information. Analysis of the findings shows that Telehealth is appropriate solution and has the potential to improve the current health status by providing quality health services and exchange health information among rural areas in Yemen. � Springer International Publishing AG 2018.
