Re: Telemedicine

In a country with a large TV viewing population and an atomic bomb there should be no justification for that. I hope the government pays attention to this topic. It is not a luxury but plain necessity and will probably is cost effective educating/learning/training tool.

Re: Telemedicine

Telemedicine is still under infancy in Pakistan. Although one cannot deny the importance of telemedicine, but the present infrastructure of teaching hospitals of Pakistan is so immature that I personally dont think telemedicine would be a wise idea to start with. The things that are missing in our hospitals are HMIS, free telephone helplines and inter-departmental cooperations.

The people who are working on telemedicine, unfortunately are working to get more funds and fame.

Telemedicine

We successfully launched an epilepsy telemedicine clinic in Western Canada.

I am interested in offering telemedicine services to educate physicians involved in the care of patients with epilepsy. If there are centres in Pakistan equipped with the telemedicine technology and staffed with interested individuals, please do not hesitate to contact me.
