Abstract The term "telepharmacy" indicates a form of pharmaceutical care in which pharmacists and patients are not in the same place and can interact using information and communication technology (ICT) facilities. Telepharmacy has been adopted to provide pharmaceutical services to underserved areas and to address the problem of pharmacist shortage. The benefits of Telepharmacy include increased value for pharmacies and pharmacists and adapting to patients´ needs, enhanced interprofessional care and increased efficiency of health systems and increased provision of patient- centred services, among others. People living in rural, remote and underserved geographical locations are considered vulnerable for many reasons, including their inability to access essential medications at times of need for their ailments. Telepharmacy refers to providing pharmaceutical care with the help of digital technology and telecommunication to persons who cannot access pharmacists physically. This becomes crucial in reducing healthcare disparities as we can ensure equitable access to pharmaceutical care for those in remote settings.
