Connectivity problem between AIG & APAN group as we use commercial network
• More advanced technology should be developed for helping the
NGO’s in providing better health care for rural population.
• Local government and private sectors to come forward in
establishing Telemedicine projects.
• We are looking towards our FORUM to help us in getting
Educational Research Network connection because of which, many
times we could not participate in many of APAN group meetings,
live, particularly when we use DVTS PLUS
• And a technology which can work in low band width for connecting
rural areas which is of main concern in Asia.
