Hierarchical Model Based LAN Architecture & VSAT-Based WAN for a National Telemedicine Network in a Developing Country: Case of Ethiopia
Overview Due to difficult terrain and limited transportation infrastructures, developing countries continue to suffer from the absence of extended and adequate medical and healthcare services. This inadequacy in basic health services is often accompanied by very low patient-doctor ratios. It has been suggested that telemedicine offers a basis for a cost-effective health-care system in geographical remote areas in such developing countries minimizing the disparity between rural and urban areas. It now seems, despite a slow start, that this awareness has slowly gained traction in many developing countries among both governmental and private health professionals and policy makers.
