meeting health care challenges

At Orange, we are convinced that the doctor of tomorrow will be a network doctor for whom managing information is vital and for whom communication solutions will be key to bringing about real improvements.

In industrialised countries, to address major challenges such as the ageing population and dependency, we have been modernising over ten years infrastructures, equipping hospitals and clinics with software and communication solutions and offering solutions that make it easier for medical practitioners to coordinate the administration of healthcare.

In developing countries, telemedicine solutions are making a real difference in places where there is a lack of hospital and healthcare infrastructure. Our Orange Healthcare division has launched tele-diagnosis solutions in a number of African countries such as tele-dermatology via mobiles in Botswana and Egypt, screening gynaecological cancers in Madagascar, real-time health monitoring of 200 children in Mali… Other pilot schemes are ongoing notably in the framework of our partnership with mHealth Alliance, which aims to deploy mobile telephone health solutions in West Africa.

facilitating access to education and the use of new technologies

New technologies are revolutionising the ways in which we access knowledge. We are working closely with local actors to address educational needs, which vary significantly from one country to another.In certain countries, we are supporting girls’ education – a recognised social and economic development lever. In other countries, we are equipping schools and higher education colleges with ICT equipment to make education more accessible and more motivating.
To remove educational and cultural obstacles such as illiteracy or the reticence to use IT tools, we are offering easy-to-use services such as Voice SMSs, which allow users to send voice messages in just a few minutes without the need to know how to read or write.With the Orange Digital Solidarity project, with support from 3000 Orange volunteer employees, we organise digital workshops on behalf of partners working in the voluntary sector. These cover a wide range of themes such as basic computer and Internet usage, writing a CV, advanced use of office tools, using social networks and even more advanced uses.
