healthcare solutions through
innovative technology
The
University of the West Indies telehealth
programme has begun to make a difference to sick
children and health care professionals in the country, by
providing sub-specialty health care through innovative technology.
The Two-Way Live Interactive Videoconferencing consultations
between the Faculty
of Medical Sciences, The University of the West Indies
and the Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto, Canada,
will bring cost-effective, timely solutions to sick children
across Trinidad and Tobago. The UWI
telehealth
link received one-time funding through the Herbie
Fund, Sick Kids Foundation. The UWI telehealth
link is supported by Atlantic for Children,
an Atlantic LNG sponsored programme for
the benefit of children.
