The Telemedicine Center project
NOVATEK’s socially significant Telemedicine Center project creates a unified telemedicine network that unites children’s partner hospitals in the Company’s regions of operation with the Multimedia Telemedicine Center of the RCCH. The project has a socially significant goal — to provide medical care to children who are at ease. The geography of the project is from Murmansk to Kamchatka.
The unified telemedicine network makes it possible not only to connect regional clinics with RCCH, but also to ensure their connection with each other, as well as with any clinic in the world.
