Satellite enhanced Telemedicine and e-Health for sub-Saharan Africa

Telemedicine and eHealth Programme aims at the development of a satellite-enhanced e-health and telemedicine infrastructure for the benefit of the sub-Saharan African region. This infrastructure shall be capable of delivering a variety of services for education, clinical services, surveillance and management to the sub-Saharan citizens and health workers.

The project preparation of this Programme consists mainly of four horizontal studies that will address the governance, regulatory aspects, the interoperability, as well as the sustainability, liability and business of the Telemedicine project. Each of these studies shall be conducted with an estimated budget of EUR 1m and shall be financed by the Grant from the EU-Africa ITF.
