title: Kilimanjaro through the keyhole.
abstract: Amanda Parkin, marketing manager at approved design and build consultant to the NHS for integrated theatres and digital video communications, OR Networks, explains how, with the help of the company and its specialist equipment, Northumbrian surgeons successfully established a two-way audio/video link to their counterparts at a hospital in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro to enable them to train the Tanzanian surgeons in laparoscopic surgery. Alongside opening up many new teaching opportunities in both the UK and Tanzania, the link-up has already saved countless lives.
