On 9-10 September 2016, Two major organisations involved in this sector, Nepal Research and Education Network (NREN) and Telemedicine Society of Nepal (TMSoN) jointly organise this workshop: Telemedicine in Nepal - Sharing for Synergy
In a country like Nepal, where remoteness is not only in terms of distance but the lack of interconnecting roads or trails to be true, hard geographical terrain, difficult weather conditions make the nearest health posts inaccessible to the villagers. In addition to these factors, natural disasters at times like landslides, floods and even earth quakes impose further difficulties in accessing the minimal available health care services usually situated may be hours or days walk from the villages. Telemedicine is the best way to provide health care services to people residing in such areas and to provide continuing medical education to the health care workers stationed in remote areas.
Therefore, a lot of institutions which provide telemedicine services understand the need of Information Communication Technology for Health (ICT4H), the key technology in Telemedicine. However, individual endeavors are not adequate to answer this major issue. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together all such individuals on a single platform where they can share their experiences and ideas for the future work.
