Health

The Telecommunications Green Paper highlights the importance of deploying ICT's (Information Communication Technology) in support of enhancing the quality of health care delivery in South Africa. The RDP has already identified connectivity for schools and health facilities as a priority.

The CSIR have close links with both the Departments of Health and Education at National and Provincial level and participate in the national telemedicine task group. The Department of Health are rolling out a national telemedicine programme and support this initiative in reaching rural areas and supporting rural health workers with innovative ICT's.

Innovative ICT's providing rural connectivity will support communities and community based health organizations in delivering effective health care services to rural communities. Examples of this application can be found at Tsilitwa in the Eastern Cape.
