Guest guest Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Colleagues, Below is a link to an article that I believe would be of interest to many of you -- it discusses “La Hora Mixteca” a program of RadioBilingue. Voice That Sounds Like Home Welcomes Mexico’s Outsiders Of particular interest is the model of telemedicine mentioned here: The Oaxacan Indians, mistrustful of doctors, rely heavily on home remedies and refrain from seeking treatment of serious illness or injury. That problem has led Mr. López to spearhead a project in which Oaxacan doctors give medical advice in Mixteco by videoconference to immigrants at clinics in the Central Valley. The Oaxacan government is collaborating on the project, and the Center for Reducing Health Disparities at the University of California, , Health System is the lead organizer. Is anyone familiar with this project or involved in it? I’d be very interested in learning more. Thanks, Seth Seth Doyle, MA Migrant Health Coordinator Northwest Regional Primary Care Association sdoyle@..., (206) 783-3004 ext 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
