Greenland has a geography and demography that make telemedicine a logical choice when planning a future public health service. Telemedicine was introduced in 1994. Although everybody considered it to be a good idea, it took five years to move from initial enthusiasm to politicians and officials committing the necessary resources. Over such a long period, there is a risk that good ideas will become neglected, although, where resources are limited, it is useful as a time in which to select the best of the new ideas. We have certainly gained a great deal of experience which we will use if and when, over the next two years, we have to argue for an extension of our business plan. |
