Hello Rodney,
My name is David and I’m new to blogging. First let me say I enjoyed browsing your blog. I hope the one I’m working on is as well done as yours when I finish it.
I’ve been asked to write articles about telehealth in the deaf community, along with articles on independent living. I was wondering if you have any information you could share about the impact telehealth is having on families in the pacific? I would like to know if you have any resources that you could refer me to.
Thank you in advance for any information you can share.
David
Hi David, thank you for the compliments. I myself only started blogging this year and still learning the ropes.
With regards to telehealth/telemedicine in the pacific, I have to admit I have very little information of my own. In fact, I only learnt about telemedicine and telehealth when researching for my articles for my blog. However, I can refer you to someone who helped set up a telemedicine portal for Solomon Islands.
Here is the link to the Solomon Islands Telemedicine Network site. You may find information there helpful. And maby you can also contact someone there who might have first hand information on telemedicine in the pacific.
Here is an article about the system – http://ipath.ch/site/node/254
The Solomon Islands Telemedicine portal is maintained by the University of Basel. You can also follow this link to get in touch with Kurt Brauchli who may help you. He helped with the Solomon Islands telemedicine network and has first hand experience.
I hope these helps. Let me know about your blog so I can visit too.
regards
David you can also visit this internet group site and be a member and be on the mailing list to recive updates, news, etc regarding telemedicine in developing countries.

There have been times of hardship when I didn’t know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren’t any need in big starting capital.
Nowadays, I’m happy and lucky , I started take up real money.

Very nice post. I agree with all of your points, thus I read this blog and not other blogs!

Hi Rodney,
Love your post. I was surfing the web for information on Dr Malau when I came across your blog. I too have a blog on WordPress using Mistylook by Sadish as a theme.
I really admire your photographs and photographic skills. what sort of camera do you have?
Have a great day.

Thanks for the compliments. All the photos were taken using a hand held Nikon Digital camera with 8 megapixels.
When taking photographs, I use 3 principles;
1. Locating a good subject to photograph.
2. Placing the subject in the frame using the rule of thirds to help composition.
3. Try and tell a good story.
I hope this tips may help you too.
Hi Doc,
I came across your blogg while using the Google search engine. Your articles and comments are worth reading. I for one will be unfortunate because I live and practice in place where important advances in terms of mass media like the internet is non-existing. The only chance I get to surf the net and come across such sites as your blogg is when I get into town.
Anyway, keep up the good work and I will encourage other colleagues to get to your site because all the articles on your blogg are genuine and a must read.
Thanks and cheers……….Lucas Kondi
Thanks Lucas. Best wishes.
