Over a 1 billion people worldwide lack access to quality health services and skilled health professionals. This is especially devastating for women and children. How can Intel, a world leader in technology solutions, work with governments and other partners to unlock the potential of digital technologies and broadband internet, and improve access to quality healthcare services in developing countries?
GD identified champion governments, UN agencies (WHO and UNFPA), leading NGOs, health professional organizations and academia to collaborate with Intel in key markets and convened them at Harvard. By converging partners’ core capabilities and resources, GD accelerated the development and the launch of the new Skool™ Healthcare Education platform to improve health-workers' access to quality and country-specific education across the globe, through computers and low-cost netbooks. Furthermore, GD catalyzed collaborations in countries, such as the establishment of a training program with the Ministry of Health in Nigeria.
GD catalyzed synergistic collaborations with new partners in global health to help us all increase the accessibility and affordability of ICT by equipping health workers with the right tools to improve women and children’s health at scale.Mike Gann
