dc.description.abstractThe state of te1e-hea1th services in a developing country like Nigeria, has been investigated. The investigation revealed: (1) nascent tele-health services, due mainly to: poor state of telecommunication facilities and services, resulting mainly from: dearth of funds, expertise; and lack of enabling socio-political, economic and regulatory environments (2) that, with these problems solved, tele-health services have bright prospects, viz: (i) in the context of: the New National Health programme, which lays emphasis on primary health care, health education and disease prevention; training medical and health personnel; remote consultation and diagnosis, thus (ii) as a cost-effective health care delivery strategy in the 21st century. (iii) in promoting tourism. Solutions proffered include mainly: provision of adequate rural telecommunication facilities and services; and wide-spread, and cost effective uses of, information technology, particularly networking and communications within the country, and access to the Internet.en_US
