SOUTH African Telemedical Resources (TMR) today opened SA’s first telemedicine site with a dual site launch shared by the Western and Eastern Cape regions. Tygerburg hospital is now linked to Groote Schuur Hospital to provide radiology and pathology expertise, with links to Frere Provincial Hospital in East London for pathology and haematology cases. The pilot project is aimed at developing a telemedicine network linking medical resources, such as specialists with medical needs especially relevant in SA’s rural or under-serviced clinics.
