eHealth and Education: Telemedicine is a way to deliver health care in remote areas. Meeting the goal of accessing health information in developing countries and facing the necessity to scale up the use of antiretrovirals (ARVs) in low resource settings, the Institute of Tropical Medicine, Antwerp (ITMA) set up a computer aided training programme for health providers, working in disadvantaged areas. Expert advice from HIV/AIDS specialists about ARVs and management of Opportunistic Infections (OIs) has been offered to colleagues working in different resource limited settings.
