Almost all radiologists in Mali are located in the capital Bamako, which means that up till now all expert diagnosis of radios, had to take place in the capital, sometimes up to 1.000 kilometres from the regional hospital where the first analysis was made. The tele-radiology project provides a solution for this problem, by offering the possibility to send or receive radio scans and diagnoses over the Internet. <br class="clear" /></div> </td> </tr> </table> </div><p><a href="http://www.nextbillion.net/activitycapsule/2415">read more</a></p> http://www.nextbillion.net/activitycapsule/2415#comment Health Activity Telecommunications and IT Activity Active Consumer For-profit Activity Mali Private Investment Funded Sub-Saharan Africa Thu, 23 Mar 2006 10:31:31 -0500 _Alex Bloom 2415 at http://www.nextbillion.net
