In Preparation for Takeoff

Throughout January we were gathering, setting up, and testing the Telemedicine equipment which was taken to the Peru and set up on Martin Strel’s boat.

Many people have worked tirelessly in making the successful launch possible.

Dr. Ron Weinstein and Dr. Rifat Latifi conducted last minute checks examining the equipment at the Arizona Telemedicine Program, while Dr. de Leonni Stanonik prepared the medical supplies at the University of Tennessee.
