title: Telemedicine in Latin America.
abstract: Latin America, stretching 6,000 miles from Mexico to Tierro del Fuego, is comprised of twenty countries totaling nearly 1/2 billion people. There are wide variations in median income levels, medical access, telecommunications infrastructures, and levels of rurality. The great variety of settings precludes any simple approach to telemedicine deployment.
