South Africa`s first-of-its-kind Telemedicine site launched to improve primary healthcare medsite.
South African Telemedical Resources says it has launched SA`s first telemedicine site, which aims to improve primary healthcare in the country.
As the first stage of a proposed national pilot network, the Tygerburg Hospital is now linked to Groote Schuur Hospital to provide radiology and pathology expertise, with links to Frere Provincial Hospital in East London for pathology and haematology cases.
The pilot project has been co-sponsored by the recently formed Consortium for TeleHealth SA, one of the bidders for the government`s telemedicine tender.
