Funding for
the Arctic Telemedicine Project was provided by the State of Alaska
Department of Commerce's Sustainable Development Project ($20,000)
and the US Department of State (DOS) ($46,000).
The Institute
for Circumpolar Health Studies (ICHS) was contracted to prepare
a report for the Ministers of the eight-nation Arctic Council
on the status of telemedicine in the far north. ICHS held a workshop
in Washington DC of key contacts from the eight nations of the
Arctic and four indigenous peoples groups. This workshop, held
in March 2000, addressed key aspects of the report to Ministers.
The final report was delivered in early October 2000.
