WiRED International

This summer, WiRED International has been coordinating a telemedicine program between three U.S. medical universities and four medical schools in Iraq.

April 2006 brought the first video conference between Iraqi physicians at Baghdad’s Medical City Center and U.S. physicians at Washington D.C.’s Children’s Hospital. Panels of physicians on both sides discussed medical cases for more than one hour.

The following list of stories about WiRED from worldwide media outlets, such as Soul Beat Africa and the Bangladesh Observer, will provide you with a sense of the scope of WiRED’s international programs to provide medical and healthcare information, education, and communications resources to communities in developing and post-conflict regions.
