School of Remote Clinics, Telemedicine and Tele - Facilitators in Haiti

By Dr. Emid Núñez Conde



It is a program for the organization that I lead; we will implement a pilot study in 2014 in rural areas of Haiti, God willing. 

We have chosen to work Tele clinic Pediatrics to develop community empowerment around 25 orphanages for childcare over 1,600 orphans and vulnerable children in communities and provinces near the capital of Haiti, on the border with the Dominican Republic in Quanaminthe. 

Our primary mission is to train volunteers to support groups that these in turn instruct others, some of them will be assigned to work in the clinic. These staff has the skills to organize communities, evaluate and interpret laboratory tests and physical that will remotely care in their own communities around the clinical community support. 

The tele - facilitators should be know how to be communicators of clinic data, perform inventory and drive the management of medical emergencies and disasters through telephone equipment. 

They will be action of level in health care and treat diseases affecting public health prevention and control of diseases of field support. The group will consist of 20 people divided into 4 groups of 5 which visited four communities at equidistant points in different regions of Haiti. 

We start with a pilot plan and distance education, and through the clinic we will be able to address issues such as cholera, malaria, dengue, non-communicable chronic diseases, nutrition, clean water, micro businesses and community hygiene.
