description Conclusion: Telestroke has demonstrated significant benefits in stroke management, including improved functional outcomes, reduced onset-to-treatment time, enhanced diagnostic accuracy, and increased healthcare accessibility, particularly in medically underserved regions. However, its implementation in Africa faces challenges related to ethical concerns, technological infrastructure, regulatory inconsistencies, financial sustainability, and limited clinician buy-in. This necessitates strategic interventions such as standardized regulatory frameworks, network expansion, sustainable financing, capacity-building, and the integration of cost-effective imaging technologies to enhance stroke care delivery across the continent.
