Emergent high-acuity care

In an emergency, on-call supporting physicians provide a thorough, rapid patient assessment virtually, to establish a treatment plan and help stabilize the patient quickly. These programs keep the patient within their community and close to their support system while helping to avoid expensive and time-sensitive transfers.  

Example: Salta and Santiago del Estero, Argentina

Through our program, specialists from Garrahan Pediatric Hospital in Buenos Aires provide specialty care to children in critical emergencies in Santiago del Estero and Salta. Remote specialists from Garrahan support local providers at the two pediatric hospitals in Northern Argentina with complex emergency cases. Garrahan has developed a close relationship with both northern hospitals, who reach out frequently for support from their specialists using the telehealth device. The rapport developed between the hospitals highlights the sustainability of our programs, built through long-term partnerships and capacity building.
