Remote villages suffer from lack of proper health remedies which are easily possible in cities. Even after Setting up the required equipment and facilities we don't find sufficient doctors to treat the village people. We see the equipment unused and get rusted and the suffering of the people unanswered. At times of emergency we find people rushing to far of places for treatment and most of time spent to find the correct doctor and it becomes too late for the actual treatment to start. Most of the developing countries face the same problem. Many of the doctors who are passionate enough to serve the needy patients at remote corners cannot reach because of their daily routine work at their work places. Patients try reaching the doctors on phones to get advices and suggestions regarding whom to approach. So the doctors are always ready to help out the patients how ever busy they are. The same help can be extended by the doctors, helping the remote people from their work places itself by the use of Video conferencing equipment.
Communicating through Video conferencing is like conversing face to face as the equipment ...
... collaborates audio and video as well. The villages can be connected to the hospitals in the cities by setting up the equipment in the health centers in the villages and explaining the processes to the employees there.
Many of the patients with severe chronic diseases, patients on oxygen find difficulty in traveling to the hospital far away to get treatment. All the developing countries lack skilled doctors. Due to minimum resources people in remote villages are deprived of health care. Most of the problems can be solved by the advice of the doctors, implementing Video conferencing helps the doctors to literally see the patients condition and give suggestions. Such kind of programs not only spare travel and conserve energy also helps in making a single doctor be present at multiple locations.
