Orange collaborates with medical school

The University of Botswana (UB) School of Medicine and mobile phone service provider Orange Botswana have launched a collaborative initiative to provide e-learning in medical education.

 The project will provide medical school staff, students, trainees with seamless, anytime-anywhere, access to clinical and learning resources and communication tools through the use of tablet computers.

Through the m-learning initiative, students, residents and academic staff receive tablets loaded with a robust collection of medical applications, research databases and various Botswana healthcare guidelines and protocols. The data package allows users to access resources away from Wi-Fi areas, while the Closed User Group (CUG) enables them to call each other at no extra cost. The project is funded through the Medical Education Partnership Initiative (MEPI) grant from the US government and the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
