[Health] Possible project

[Outofindia]

Sameer

You may already know this.....A group of doctors from the Mangalore
HeartScan  Foundation and Omega Hospital (Mangalore Karnataka India) have
expressed interested in supporting something like this. They conduct free
camps in rural areas where they could pilot any project in the health area.
They have identified a village in Kavoor in nearby Kerala for a possible
OLPC implementation. Unfortunately we do not have the capacity to support
them.

One constraint is that the doctors don't know how to use this technology in
health and we have no support team in Mangalore...But it is a very active
thought on my back burner and as soon as I figure out how to go about it
all.... I will connect the dots.
In the mean time they are building capacity just getting everyone at the
hospital IT/Digital  Literate and implementing systems to keep track of
clients.


I am copying Dr. K Mukund on this. Not sure the mail is checked frequently.
