Yet the epicentre of healthcare expertise and resources remains in the cities. The online telemedicine platform iPath connects doctors based in rural areas with other doctors in and outside Tanzania, increasing the quality of diagnosis in rural areas. Telemedicine is beneficial for patients, because they can get specialist consultations in their own hospital.<br /> <br /> The video shows how the telemedicine project, run by ELCT and supported by IICD and Cordaid, is working in Tanzania.

The work will involve a pilot study to replace the paper/mail data collection process currently in use at Malawi’s child growth monitoring clinics with instantaneous data transmission via mobile devices.<br /> <br /> The project will enable the Government of Malawi, UNICEF Malawi, and their partners to geographically map and track child malnutrition trends accurately and in real time. This tool will provide a critical means of intervention into rapidly unfolding food and nutrition crises. If successful, the pilot will serve as a model to scale up the use of mobile devices in other nutrition and food security surveillance systems worldwide.
