Jordan picks Cisco to deploy HealthPresence

 

The Jordan government and Cisco launched a regional health clinic that will use Cisco Care-at-a-Distance technology to bring patients and physicians at the Al-Mafraq Governmental Hospital, in the north-east of Jordan, together with specialists at Prince Hamzah Hospital in Amman for healthcare consultations. This first implementation of Cisco's HealthPresence system in the Middle East and Africa region demonstrates how technology can transform the delivery of healthcare in rural areas, the company said. As part of the Jordan Healthcare Initiative, Cisco has collaborated with the government of Jordan to provide thought leadership in ICT-enabled healthcare as well as to support the initial implementation of Cisco Care-at-a-Distance Solution to help enable quality healthcare services for remote and underserved communities. The deployment of Cisco HealthPresence to connect Al-Mafraq Governmental Hospital to Prince Hamzah Hospital marks one of the first projects under the JHI strategy.
