Telemedicine arrives in Kenya

Mar 5th, 2011 | By Bikya Masr Staff | Category: Health

An Indian medical tourism company is hoping to introduce telemedicine to Kenya,

after already implemented in Canada and Britain. According to Chandigarh-based

Doctor Z India Healthcare Ltd., the company is hoping the effort will bring more

development in the medical sector to the African country.

" The company has been entrusted by Mohali-based Center for Development of

Advanced Computing, a scientific society under the Ministry of Communications

and Information Technology, the government of India, to provide technology to

launch the project, " a statement read on Thursday.

The company said it would be the first such effort to enter Kenya.

Doctor Z India Managing Director Zora Singh, in comments to the Business

Standard, said " We are planning to launch telemedicine project in Kenya in

association with C-DAC Mohali as a technology partner. "

She went on to say that C-DAC was chosen as a partner because " they have past

experience in this field. Besides, we are also planning to run OPD's camp in

Kenya, Ethiopia and East of Africa. "

C-DAC's first major project in Kenay, ironically, was a telemedicine enterprise

begun in 1999 and was successfully completed in 2003.
