Telemedicine is being practiced in Nepal by a number of institutions and individuals since more than a decade. While the way telemedicine is practiced may vary a lot, we feel that better cooperation and coordination among the practitioner can create synergy and set standards in the country.

It will cover presentations from experienced telemedicine users both from the field of medicine and engineering.
