As a result, life expectancy in villages is 8 years less than for city dwellers, the prevalence of disease is high, and diseases of poverty such as malaria and tuberculosis often go untreated. <br /> <br /> Jiva’s &quot;TeleDoc&quot; is a low-cost eHealth program which provides effective Ayurvedic healthcare, and brings high-quality medical attention directly to rural India. In the ‘Women&#39;s Healthcare’ component, TeleDoc will provide training, software, and village-appropriate information resources addressing women&#39;s reproductive health—including pre-natal and post-natal care.<br class="clear" /></div> </td> </tr> </table> </div><p><a href="http://www.nextbillion.net/activitycapsule/2641">read more</a></p> http://www.nextbillion.net/activitycapsule/2641#comment BOP Technology Activity Health Activity Telecommunications and IT Activity Active Consumer For-profit Activity India Private Investment Funded South Asia Thu, 04 May 2006 12:47:01 -0400 _Alex Bloom 2641 at http://www.nextbillion.net
