The pioneering UKeMED platform - an innovative, first-of-its-kind medical knowledge and content service that allows worldwide healthcare professionals to address and streamline hospitals' and medical institutions' training and e-consultation needs - was unveiled to regional technology, healthcare and telecoms leaders at Gitex Technology Week.

A partnership between Intracom Telecom, a global telecommunications system vendor, and Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH), one of the UK's leading medical institutions, the industry-leading UKeMED platform offers medical content from prestigious healthcare institutions to hospitals, diagnostic centres, pathology labs, primary healthcare centres and homecare systems across the globe.

"Healthcare is no longer a national or regional concept - it is now truly global," said Takis Kotis, CEO, UKeMED, during GTX Communities Conference session focused on Healthcare. "UKeMED provides a link between the telecommunications companies which own the hardware, networks and infrastructure with hospitals, clinics and professionals working across the global healthcare industry. The platform is the connecting link - the facilitator of exchange, education and knowledge- that allows for the implementation of best-practise solutions across the entire sector."
