Cooperation between Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Faranah Regional Hospital in Guinea aims to improve health care by introducing telemedicine.
Problem: The low number of doctors and the poor infrastructure are a huge obstacle to supplying the Guinean population with health care. The country is thus highly dependent on foreign assistance. The partnership project aims to counter this, and develop new communication infrastructures in the medical field.
Main activities: The e-health platform SATMED is to be introduced. Training courses will familiarise the medical staff with the use of this administration platform. It will also then be easier to draw on the expertise of German partners using telemedical communications.
Short-term results: Professional dialogue between the project partners will be enabled.
Long-term results: The quality of health services is to improve across the country thanks to the introduction of the e-health platform.
