Abstract -
In a developing society such as Nigeria,
hospital consultants are not available in good enough
ratio. The result of which is that one consultant may be
engaged in up to ten hospitals within the metropolis and
therefore unable to rotate his services effectively in order
to attend patients in emergency situations. In advanced
nations, technology has come to aid further the
availability of immediate attention in emergencies. Thus
for medical facilities such as ours, rooted in traditional
methods, there is urgent need to avail the best in
technology to maximise medical care and productivity.
This can be achieved through evolutions in GSM, Personal
Area Network, within the framework of Telemedicine.
