Telemedicine project to be revived
TELUK INTAN: The Health Ministry will re-implement its telemedicine project which was stopped several years ago, said Health Minister Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek.
The ministry, he said, was ready to start it now that it had managed to discover the root cause, which had hindered its initial implementation.
A total of RM60mil has been allocated for the project which would be implemented in stages.
The ministry had scaled down the project from the one planned several years ago to ensure its success this time around, he told reporters after making an official visit to the Teluk Intan Hospital here Sunday.
Dr Chua said that under the scaled down approach, only government hospitals which already had broadband infrastructure services would be connected for telemedicine services.
