A new partnership established between Palau and the Health, Welfare and Environment Foundation of Taiwan is set to improve medical services for more than 20,000 residents in Palau.
The Foundation is spending half a million dollars to connect Palau to hundreds of doctors and medical experts in Taiwan, the Philippines and the United States by implementing Health Cloud Information Systems.
The press secretary for president Tommy Remengesau, Keobel Sakuma told Oceania Television Network this would allow doctors from those countries to access patient information at any location and provide real time medical expertise.
"With the Health Cloud System the patient can go to the hospital, their records are available over the internet and doctors in Taiwan can take a look at the diagnosis, the examination, and maybe see things that we can't see here in Palau. I mean there are experts in so many different fields that will access to this information."
