| SATMED is a cloud-based e-health platform owned by the Government of Luxembourg and is aimed to help healthcare providers in remote areas make better use of information technology and mobile health solutions. SATMED leverages SES’s satellite-enabled connectivity services to connect hospitals in remote areas. In Northern Bangladesh, the SATMED platform is utilised by healthcare professionals at NGO Friendship’s floating hospitals and land-based hospital. There, patients are symptomatically identified for COVID-19 before they are referred to official dedicated COVID-19 test facilities organised by the local government. In Niger, healthcare workers of CURE Hôpital des Enfants au Niger in Niamey (CURE Niger) are using SATMED platform to establish communications with national and international doctors to receive updated information and improve their knowledge and situational awareness. CURE is also instituting a triage system where every healthcare worker, patients and visitors are screened upon arrival for flu-like symptoms and a high-temperature to make sure COVID-19 is being kept at bay. |
