Recognizing the gaps in the healthcare system and the inequitable delivery of healthcare services, the UP NTHC provided telehealth services to aid physicians who were assigned to remote communities all over the Philippines upon being recruited to the Doctors to the Barrios Program (DTTB). Clinical specialists from the UP Philippine General Hospital (PGH) became the remote source of valuable knowledge to DTTB physicians as they provided healthcare services to their patients. This enabled the patients from far flung communities to access quality healthcare from specialists based at a tertiary hospital that was otherwise beyond their reach.
