| Rawalpindi, Sukkur hospitals’ Teleophthalmology link established under PIDSA Project |
|
- The Teleophthalmology Project which Al-Shifa Trust launched in collaboration with Governments of Italy and Pakistan (PIDSA Project) has now completed its first phase by linking Rawalpindi and Sukkur Hospitals. Under this three years joint project, all four AST hospitals will be linked through broad band internet connectivity. This will enable the tele-diagnosis of complicated eye patients in Sukkur, Kohat and Muzaffarabad by senior specialists based at Rawalpindi. Similarly training of doctors and paramedics will also be conducted at all the four hospitals through tele-conferencing and tele-training programs. In the later phases of this project, rural health centers at district and sub-district level will also be connected with AST hospital at Rawalpindi.
