Virtual healthcare provided to 250,000 refugees almost 500km away from Gertrude\u2019s Children Hospital in Nairobi.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liquid Intelligent Technologies Kenya has connected Gertrude\u2019s Children\u2019s Hospital<\/a> in Nairobi to Dadaab refugee complex<\/a>. The community of approximately 250,000 refugees across four camps almost 500km away from the hospital now has access to dedicated healthcare including consultations, diagnostics and treatment over the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Providing medical services to the quarter of a million refugees at Dadaab\u2019s four camps has been inhibited by the absence of specialists in the remote semi-arid area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By using a 15Mbps connection at the hospital\u2019s Nairobi headquarters and a 2Mbps link at Dadaab sub-county hospital, Liquid Intelligent Technologies Kenya is enabling the largest paediatric centre in East and Central Africa to deliver advanced treatment directly to Dadaab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLiquid Intelligent Technologies\u2019s high-speed network is now facilitating cost-effective delivery of specialised healthcare services to one of the world’s largest refugee camp which has traditionally been inhibited by the absence of specialists in the remote semi-arid area,\u201d said Liquid Intelligent Technologies East Africa Chief Executive Officer Adil El-Youssefi. \u201cWe are especially excited as this not only brings essential healthcare to the most disadvantaged communities, it supports the government\u2019s commitment to providing universal healthcare – one of Kenya\u2019s Big 4 policy agenda items.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The link to Dadaab has enabled the hospital to successfully treat more than 56 patients so far. \u201cWhen we get a call from Dadaab requesting time and input from our specialists, the ICT department notifies the relevant doctor and then schedules a virtual consultation using video conferencing equipment across Liquid Intelligent Technologies\u2019s network,\u201d said Peter Kanda, Head of Information Services, Gertrude\u2019s Children\u2019s Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hospital is also offering telemedicine services in Mombasa, Sekenani (Narok County) and Kibera in Nairobi and will soon deploy the services to the Mara.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
