The project connects healthcare facilities through remote diagnosis units, coordinated between the Ministries of Health and Population, Communications and Information Technology, and Higher Education and Scientific Research. The remote diagnosis units are connected via a secure closed network and are distributed across central hospitals, health units, and university hospitals based on a specified geographical scope across various governorates. This setup enables healthcare facilities to receive remote consultations and diagnoses from specialized hospitals and hospitals with exceptional expertise within the Ministry of Health, as well as from university hospitals.

The Project is Replicable

The project is sustainable

The project directly contributes to improving healthcare accessibility in underserved and rural areas, aligning with WSIS's goal of bridging the digital divide. It promotes universal access to healthcare services, empowering individuals who may otherwise face challenges to care due to geographic, economic, or social factors. The use of secure and interoperable systems for patient data management further supports the WSIS principles of privacy, security, and data protection, fostering trust and confidence in telemedicine. Ultimately, this project contributes to the advancement of society by promoting health equity, economic development, and the effective use of ICT to address community challenges, in line with the overarching vision of WSIS for an inclusive information society, also supports medical education and knowledge transfer by enabling local doctors in underserved areas to collaborate with specialists and participate in remote training sessions. This enhances their expertise, ensures continuous medical education, and bridges the knowledge gap in rural regions
