Human development is the basic right of every individual and health is a pre-requisite for the socio-economic wellbeing. Health is an entry-point towards prosperity and reducing poverty.

Telemedicine or Tele-health is a term given to offering remote care to people, providing the care and reassurance needed to allow them to remain living healthy in their own homes. The use of wired or wireless medical sensors may be part of a package, which can provide support for people with serious illnesses or people at risk of falling.

As healthy body nourishes healthy mind, the health of students in each school takes utmost importance. The technological platform that provides e-education solutions is to be further deployed for maintaining EMR (Electronic Medical Record) of all the students and teachers. The facility could also further be extended to the parents and the community at large as the system gradually expands.

In association with “TeleCare” and “TF Health Initiative”, the organization is rolling out e-Clinic at each outlet of Taaleem Foundation. The organization has established linkage with ‘Rural Tele-medicine Centre’ of Kawish Trust at Gulab Devi Hospital Lahore for providing back-end clinical support by professional doctors. Efforts are in hand to establish a regional hub of doctors placed in Quetta – Balochistan.

Taaleem Foundation is also working on taking on board the lady doctors of the district who are not providing clinical services for whatever reason. They would be empowered to provide consultation through technological infrastructure while sitting home. This would encourage the positive engagement of the idle doctors either waiting for job or sitting home for cultural / personal reasons.
