Algeria is a country, characterized by a large area, from which more than 70% is desert. The instauration of a public healthcare policy with high quality all around the country, .requires the use of important technology means.
Thus, hospital information management, opening up to disadvantaged areas through reliable and high quality means of telecommunication, and the upgrading of local expertise require the use of telemedicine.
It is within the aim of technology transfer to the socio-economic sector, that the researchers of the Center for Development of Advanced Technologies CDTA, have led the project: "telemedicine service to remote regions in Algeria" which end up with the realization of a mini-telemedicine pilot network, linking Birtararia hospital located in Algiers, Ouargla hospital (800km -south of Algiers-) and Hadjira health centre (900km southeast of Algiers).
