Preamble
Telemedicine uses Information Technology to help medical professionals diagnose and treat patients who are at a geographically different location. By transmitting live or stored data, voice and video, these solutions allow people to interact and share information as freely and naturally as if they were there. This transfer of medical data utilizes a variety of telecommunication technologies.
Objective
USF intends to establish a Special Project to set-up a Pilot Telemedicine (TM) network at 3 hubs and 12 remote sites in collaboration with Federal Ministry of Health. Through this project, USF aims to demonstrate that the Optic Fibre and the Broadband Networks can be used for providing health care facilities without any further addition in the telecommunications part. Telemedicine centers will be set up for provision of following consultation services:
a) General
b) Cardiology (Heart)
c) Dermatology (Skin)
d) ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat)
e) Radiology (X-Ray)
f) Gynecology
Project
The project will be carried out at 15 locations. There will be 3 main hospitals as hubs and 12 remote sites. Each main hospital will be connected to 4 remote sites (see Figure 1).
