Telepresence has linked Hong Kong medical professionals with Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, allowing them to easily follow up on rehabilitation retreatment and progress of patients from last year's earthquake, said Stand TALL Tele-Medicine Rehabilitation Training Centre Monday.

According to Stand TALL located in the Hong Kong Prince of Wales Hospital, Cisco sponsors video conference equipment Tele-Presence 3000 while China Telecom and PCCW Global sponsor an MPLS network.

"The video conference system has minimized the distance between Hong Kong and Sichuan," said Stand TALL convener Kai-ming Chan. "The Hong Kong medical staff can now follow up on the newest rehabilitation progress of patients much more closely and discuss the most suitable treatment strategies with the mainland specialists more efficiently. The patients can benefit from services that are much more customized."

The video conference system will also used to provide training courses for the local rehabilitation crew in Sichuan, said Chan, adding that he hopes to train up to 1000 medical staff members within three years.
