Phase I: Communications Uplinks Many populations in remote areas are without dependable communications to support humanitarian on-site programs, or distance contact with remote supporters. LFH partners will develop an easily installed and operated robust communications core utilizing a satellite uplink to facilitate telemedicine, educational, commerical and artistic programs. Phase II: Community Infrastructure LFH partners will contribute their expertise, wealth and capabilities to develop micro-community centers that include vocational schools, arts/cultural centers, medical clinics built around LFH communications centers. Working with private sector partners and NGOs, LFH will help finance infrastrucure and support on-going partnerships to create markets for art and music, goods, training and other vital connections. Phase III: Build-Out Each project undertaken by LFH will anticipate a build-out stage, where private sector partners can build and sell homes, shops and other commercially attractive enterprises that use sustainable building materials and create jobs for the local population. LFH arranges investment insurance, both government and private, to make the investment attractive to potential partners. LFH will also help create locally governed credit cooperative to administer the titling, lending and administration of land/home sales including Sharia-compliant models. |
Telemedicine Partnerships: A Critical Link To Remote Communities AD | 02.09.2007 | 18:45:3313253 | The U.S. House Subcommittee on Africa held hearings on the importance and effectiveness of telemedicine to bring medical care to remote and poor populations. Click here for a copy of the testimony. LFH is creating partnerships with medical universities through its SatMed program, to provide care, diagnosis and treatment to developing regions. Physicians in medical universities and hospitals anywhere in the world can link through the Internet or direct satellite video-teleconferencing to help other physicians diagnose diseases, assist in procedures and order pharmaceuticals. The first LFH partnership will offer a connection for Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) to establish a distance diagnosis network for North Africa. |
