The first deployment of SATMED in Benin successfully took place at the remote maternity hospital of Ahozonnoude in June 2014.<\/p>\n<p>The new satellite-based platform in Allada will be used by Fondation Follereau Luxembourg to communicate with doctors and medical experts around the world, access online training tools, and establish facilities such as video conferencing, data collection and analysis. The deployment is part of FFL\u2019s efforts to establish a consultation office at CDTUB \u2013 which treated more than 700 patients in 2015, to improve communication between patients and medical staff, raising further awareness of tropical diseases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are pleased to partner with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ses.com\/government\" target=\"_blank\">SES for this important project<\/a>, which will allow early detection of symptoms in patients, significantly improving treatment and recovery rate,\u201d said Violaine Alves, Project Manager at FFL. \u201cBuruli ulcer is often hard to detect by untrained people, particularly by the patients themselves or their parents, so raising awareness in the community with SATMED will be of utmost benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>SES Techcom Services CEO Gerhard Bethscheider added, \u201cSATMED has already been deployed at a number of locations across Africa to improve the speed and quality of healthcare services. In remote locations such as CDTUB, satellite is often the only means of providing consistent communication between sites, and we are proud to have been able to provide our solution to FFL in Allada.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"SES_SATMED_Benin_Beitrag_150925 shorter HD\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/144745141?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ses.com\/techcom\" target=\"_blank\">SES Techcom Services<\/a> is a wholly owned affiliate of SES, providing integrated end-to-end satellite solutions and operational services tailored to customers\u2019 needs worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014 SES announced its commitment to action, in the form of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ses.com\/4233325\/news\/2014\/20191215\" target=\"_blank\">e-health platform SATMED<\/a>.
