More than two-thirds of the population in Pakistan resides in rural areas, having limited access to proper healthcare.

ChildLife bridges this gap by connecting secondary care hospitals in these rural areas with pediatric specialists at ChildLife Telemedicine Control Rooms in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, through an HD camera and IP phone.

When a patient visits a district or tehsil hospital, they are first assessed by a nurse and government doctor. If the case is critical, ChildLife’s expert doctors at the Telemedicine Control Room observe patients through the high-definition camera installed at each site. This consultation enables government doctors to receive second opinions from expert pediatricians, free of cost and 24/7.
