Medical patients on Guam will soon get access to doctors all over the world, thanks to a new, high-technology medical system. Telemedicine technology will connect Guam's health services with medical specialists abroad, via a high-speed broadband internet connection. The equipment is expected to be available at Guam's only civilian hospital, the Guam Memorial Hospital in 30 days, funded by the Guam Healthcare and Hospital Development Foundation, Guam Radiology Consultants and internet provider, TeleGuam.

Presenter: Megan Flamer
Speakers: Dr. Nathaniel Berg, former president of the Guam Medical society and owner of Guam Radiology Consultants; Dr Spencer Koerner, Medical Director of Center for International Health and Telemedicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre
