Telemedicine

“We’ve had a cardiologist consult with patients in Twillingate and Goose Bay, we’ve carried out medical education activities for residents in Twillingate, and we’ve held innumerable nursing education sessions — things that would have been impossible without the broader bandwidth that Telesat and satellite offer.”
