The government of the province of Buenos Aires signed an agreement with national authorities to promote remote medical care in the province and the development of research.
The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation of Argentina will intervene in a strategy for the technological development of the province of Buenos Aires. One of the projects includes financing for the implementation of the Telemedicine System of the Ministry of Health.
The telemedicine initiative will be managed by the Ministry of Health of the province of Buenos Aires and will be supported by the Sadosky Foundation.
"After four years of setbacks in the field of science and technology, it was essential to achieve greater articulation between the Government of the Province, the universities and the research centers," explained the governor of the province, Axel Kicillof.
For his part, the province's health minister, Nicolás Krepalk, announced that this action will grow the telemedicine network in Buenos Aires and that it will also promote science and innovation. “As of the pandemic, we underpin the follow-up of the attention and care of our people with telemedicine technological tools,” he added.
This strategy follows up on the Telemedicine Centers (Cetec) implemented in universities in the province in which students and volunteers provided their services to remotely care for suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients.
The promotion of a telemedicine system is part of other plans that the national government will carry out in the province of Buenos Aires. To do this, they will invest around 20 billion pesos through the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation to implement and develop various projects. In addition to the telemedicine project, various technology centers and laboratories will be established.
