Our Mission:
Providing medical
and healthcare information, education and communications in
developing and war-affected regions.
August 2007 Highlights:
This summer, WiRED's telemedicine program in
Iraq was the topic on one of America's
most-watched news programs, CNN's Anderson
Cooper 360.
The story focused on the significant impact that
WiRED's low-budget, medical education programs
are having in Iraq, in comparison to some large
projects with budgets reaching $150 million that
have "essentially fallen apart," as described by
Cooper.
WiRED remained resilient throughout the war,
spending relatively little, and continues to
empower Iraqi doctors to save lives by giving
them access to the latest medical information by
way of its Medical Information Centers and
telemedicine program providing real-time
lectures, seminars and patient consultations.
