The Amazon Telehealth Program is a project for Distance Education and Telemedicine Support to a Rural Medical Internship in the Amazon, which is being developed by the EduMed Institute for Education in Medicine and Health, a Brazilian not-for-profit foundation, in collaboration with the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Amazonas.
The Program will facilitate remote communication among medical students in rural and aboriginal communities in the Amazon jungle and their teachers in Manaus' University Hospital and other supporting hospitals, in order to solve the problems they come face-to-face with, by means of voice and video transmissions over the Internet and satellite. It will help them to improve the public services for health prevention and care in those regions, thus increasing the quality of life of its population.
