Africa Telehealth Conference
----------------------------

April 10-14, 2001
Kampala, Uganda

Dear friends,

We would like to kindly inform you that the Second Africa Telehealth
Conference will be held in Kampala, Uganda April 10-14, 2001 and to
invite you to participate. The First conference was held in February
1999 in Nairobi Kenya.

The goal of the conference is to characterize how telecommunication
resources, computer-based information systems and appropriate health
information infrastructures can be utilized to advance the general
health conditions of African society, through improvements to qual-
ity, access, and management of health systems on the continent.

The conference will draw upon the collective knowledge of interna-
tional experts in the areas of health systems management, clinical
care, epidemiology, telemedicine, health promotion, and health ser-
vices policy.

The conference will discuss current problems and trends in the utili-
zation of computer-based telecommunications technologies in the
health sector. The Africa Telehealth Project, Uganda Unit, will act
on the results of the conference to develop and design a telemedicine
centre of excellence in Kampala-Uganda. Information is being posted
at our combined web page:
