the Virtual Doctors 'At the intersection of technology and medicine'
A charity delivering telemedicine into the heart o

A UK-based charity with a Zambian operation, we use a Smartphone App to connect isolated health centres in rural communities with volunteer doctors (based predominantly in the UK), bridging health inequalities by delivering a free, life-changing telemedicine service anywhere in the world. The Virtual Doctors provides a state of the art, yet simple to use technology, that allows rural health worker

s in Africa to communicate with Doctors for diagnosis and treatment advice. This assists and empowers the Zambian health workers and helps reduce the number of hospital referrals that would incur long, arduous journeys and unmanageable expense. As such the Virtual Doctors help strengthen
primary health care while supporting the local Ministry of Health. The service has three key aims:
- Help rural health workers treat more patients in their own communities, supporting a reduction in morbidity and mortality rates
- Reduce unnecessary referrals to distant & hard to reach hospitals
- Enhance knowledge transfer between medical professionals
