Accessibility of patients/clients towards rehabilitation services, a core area is difficult to approach but not impossible; requiring effective applicability. A number of factors are limiting the availability of health care services not only in Pakistan but throughout the International market, including: physical distance from health facilities, an impairment preventing or restricting attendance at a local service, a lack of clinicians and transportation in any specific area or the inadequate provision of resources in a geographical region.It has almost been 2 decades, when Tele Health (TH) emerged in the field of medicine and other Allied Health Care professions still the implementation is negligible.
