title: The emergence of international telemedicine: no ready-made solutions exist.
abstract: Sending images to the far end of the world and establishing a diagnosis that may save one human life is a technological success which is very extremely gratifying, scientifically. But it's only the first, though essential, stage towards developing an international telemedicine network. The difficulties of conforming the telemedicine network to technical standards, administrative regulations, and existent national and supranational legislations are presented in this paper; there are often no ready-made solutions to these problems.
