E-CEPTIONIST® BEGINS IRAQ SERVICE
An Nasiriyah, Iraq – The Italian military has begun using the E-Ceptionist Telehealth Manager in Iraq.
The E-Ceptionist Telehealth Manager is being used by the Italian military to run the telemedicine station at Tallil Airbase that serves both Italian soldiers in Iraq as well as local humanitarian needs.
E-Ceptionist, provided through the Italian company TelBios, allows the Italian military’s medical workers in Iraq to transfer clinical data and images between the hospital in Tallil and the Celio Military Hospital in Rome. In addition, E-Ceptionist provides the ability to link the Tallil telemedicine station with other hospitals in the TelBios telemedicine network.
The Italian Minister of Defense, Antonio Martino, inaugurated the hospital on May 26, 2004 at the Tallil Airbase southeast of Baghdad and outside the city of An Nasiriyah: “This service offers enormous advantages. It will be as if the entire Celio hospital is available to soldiers in An Nasiriyah.”
“E-Ceptionist allows the Italian military to offer health services to soldiers in Iraq that would not be available without the Telehealth Manager platform,” said an E-Ceptionist representative.
