Colleagues,
Medweb, a company with a number of MedTech-IQ members, has announced that it has donated two PACS servers to the University of Miami/Project Medishare 240-bed hospital on the tarmac at Port-au-Prince airport. The equipment will enable clinicians in Haiti to transmit a patient's radiological images to the University of Miami Hospital for remote reading and expert consultation...
