“Senator Edgardo J. Angara, chair of the Congressional Commission on Science Technology and Engineering (Comste), has identified telehealth, which would help deliver basic medical services to remote areas through the use of information and communication technology (ICT), as a national priority.
Comste has a target of deploying 200 new telehealth clinics within the next two years. The commission is also targeting the development of new biomedical devices/subsystems–ECG, blood tests, urinalysis, disease screening in coordination with local electronics industry partners.”
