Samaa TV Talks about our Tele-healthcare Project

Recently, Samaa TV covered our healthcare project in their program named, “Innovation”. The accompanying video is a short highlight of the documentary that they made during their visit to NUST and our UM Healthcare facility in Mardan. With permission from Samaa TV, we are now sharing the video clip of the program online with our well wishers.
This innovative healthcare project that uses the power of mobile phones, and implemented with the support of Lady Health Workers (LHW) is now moving from pilot phase into full deployment. In the first phase, the project has treated over treated over 12,500 patients in rural Mardan since August 2008. We have also held numerous specialized medical camps including one focusing on “Eye Care” this past weekend.The project is a joint effort of NUST (SEECS), UM Healthcare Trust and APPNA. It is funded through generous donations by people like you and partially supported by USAID, HEC and ISIF Foundation
