International Telemedicine Conference
An International Telemedicine Conference, INTELEMEDINDIA 2005, was held at Bangalore in March, 2005. This was the first time that an exclusive international telemedicine conference was organised in India. Astronautical Society of India, supported mainly by ISRO, organised the conference. Other Government of India Departments like Health and Family Welfare, Communication and IT, DRDO, Rural Development and Science and Technology also supported the Conference.
The main objective of the Bangalore Conference was to create awareness on the technical, operational, social, ethical, financial and other related aspects of telemedicine. The Conference provided a forum to discuss and arrive at appropriate recommendations for implementing telemedicine, particularly in developing countries, where the need is most felt. About 650 delegates, including about 50 delegates from abroad, attended the Conference.
