Sangha and South Africa
   

 

  

 

Sangha is working with the Medical Research Council of South Africa (www.mrc.ac.za) on 2 projects. Sangha has successfully begun a hybrid teledermatology program. By partnering with Dr. Noah Craft and VisualDx (www.visualdx.com), our pilot clinic, Grabouw Clinic in Capetown will be able to input patient data into an interactive adaptive software and obtain diagnoses and treatment options of children with skin lesions related to HIV which have been difficult to diagnose. The remaining patients can then be diagnosed or receive treatment options through telemedicine. Because of the software, there will be fewer patients for telemedicine. More excitingly, South African physicians will be inputting data into the software program, helping to increase our knowledge and increasing our database translating to improved quality and efficacy of care for patients.
