The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the Government of Honduras developed a project to bring telemedicine to hospitals and health centers in remote areas of the country.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Last April, IDB Lab announced that it would co-finance a telehealth project in Honduras for the purposes of COVID-19 and improving access to health services. The IDB designated the Strategic Agency for the Execution of Productive, Environmental and Social Projects (AEPAS-H) as one of those responsible for the project, which had an investment of US$2.3 million and will benefit more than 100,000 Honduran men and women.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\"The project includes the introduction of five innovative technological solutions, the first of which is the immediate adoption of a telehealth solution that will serve as a pilot to be incorporated into the emergency health system. The other solutions will facilitate the treatment of maternal and child health and chronic diseases in populations located in remote communities,\" explained the IDB in last year's press release.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Through this project, 15 mobile telehealth kits were delivered. The equipment allows remote monitoring of 30 pathologies, as well as ultrasounds, electrocardiograms, lung gas measurements and identification of skin diseases.<\/p>

The communities and municipalities benefited are: San Lorenzo, Nacaome, Marcovia, San Marcos de Col\u00f3n, Empala, Namasig\u00fce, Perspire, San Antonio de Flores, Guascor\u00e1n, Langue, Guajiro, Cholulteca and Anguanqueterique.<\/p>

Patricia M\u00e9ndez, coordinator of the DEIT-Sur (Territorial Inclusive Economic Development) program, explained that this device can be transported to the communities to connect patients with the nearest health centers. \"This becomes a contribution for people in the most vulnerable areas to have access to health services.\"<\/p>

So far, a total of 70 doctors have been trained and more are expected. The mobile health team can assist up to 20 patients per day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

El Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) y el Gobierno de Honduras, desarrollaron un proyecto para llevar telemedicina a hospitales y centros de salud de zonas remotas del pa\u00eds. En abril del a\u00f1o pasado el BID Lab anunci\u00f3 que cofinanciar\u00eda un proyecto de telesalud en Honduras para los efectos de COVID-19 y mejorar el acceso a los servicios de salud.\u00a0 El BID design\u00f3 a la Agencia Estrat\u00e9gica para la Ejecuci\u00f3n de Proyectos Productivos, Ambientales y Social (AEPAS-H) como uno de los responsables del proyecto, que cont\u00f3 con una inversi\u00f3n de 2.3 millones de d\u00f3lares y que beneficiar\u00e1 a m\u00e1s de 100 mil hondure\u00f1os y hondure\u00f1as. “El proyecto contempla la introducci\u00f3n de cinco soluciones tecnol\u00f3gicas innovadoras, la primera es la adopci\u00f3n inmediata de una soluci\u00f3n de telesalud que sirva de piloto para incorporarla al sistema de emergencia sanitaria. Las otras soluciones facilitar\u00e1n el tratamiento de salud materno-infantil y de enfermedades cr\u00f3nicas en poblaciones ubicadas en comunidades lejanas”, explic\u00f3 el BID en el comunicado del a\u00f1o pasado. A trav\u00e9s de este proyecto fueron entregados 15 equipos de telesalud m\u00f3vil. Los cuales permiten brindar seguimiento remoto a 30 patolog\u00edas, adem\u00e1s de practicar ultrasonidos, electrocardiogramas, mediciones de gases en pulmones e identificar enfermedades en la piel. Las comunidades y municipios beneficiados son: San Lorenzo, Nacaome, Marcovia, San Marcos de Col\u00f3n, Empala, Namasig\u00fce, Perspire, San Antonio de Flores, Guascor\u00e1n, Langue, Guajiro, Cholulteca y Anguanqueterique. Patricia M\u00e9ndez coordinadora del programa DEIT-Sur (Desarrollo Econ\u00f3mico Inclusivo Territorial) explic\u00f3 que este dispositivo puede trasladarse hasta las comunidades para conectar a los pacientes con los centros de salud m\u00e1s cercanos. “Esto se convierte en una contribuci\u00f3n para que las personas de las zonas m\u00e1s vulnerables tengan acceso a los servicios de salud”. Hasta el momento un total de 70 m\u00e9dicos han sido capacitados y se espera que sean m\u00e1s. El equipo de salud m\u00f3vil puede brindar asistencia a hasta a 20 pacientes por d\u00eda.
