07-08-2009

Oracle has decided to generously support Health Connections International (HCI) in its efforts to link healthcare professionals across the globe. By offering its ICT solutions and marketing expertise to the Dutch-based organisation, Oracle strengthens HCI’s web-based knowledge- and information-sharing platform—which allows professionals to quickly and directly communicate by eliminating language barriers. The partnership between Oracle and HCI serves to further the innovative use of ICT technologies adapted for use in resource-limited settings.

HCI is grateful to Oracle for their leadership and vision, illustrating how the healthcare and private sectors can join forces with public health, non-profit organisations such as HCI to bring technological innovation to low-income countries in order to tackle some of the most pressing issues, such as the HIV and tuberculosis epidemics.
