Introduction Ministry of Post and Telecommunications of Cambodia (MPTC) in cooperation with KDDI Corporation, JAPAN and Global Information and Telecommunication Studies (GITS)- Waseda University, JAPAN have embarked on the APT ICT Development Project which is sponsored by Asia-Pacific Telecommunity (APT). The main purpose of this APT project is to narrow the digital divide in the Asia-Pacific region by establishing pilot projects to ensure the access to ICT in rural areas of Cambodia and to promote ICT and Broadband development in the region. KDDI Corp. and Waseda University have participated in this project since 2002 by addressing various major issues that the rural areas in Asia pacific countries are facing. Here are the existing projects that have been implemented so far: - 2002-2003: “ Experience in Rural areas using Wireless LAN system”, Malaysia - 2003-2004: “Telemedicine in Rural Area”, Hatihn, Vietnam - 2004-2005: “Experiment with Wireless LAN and PLC in Education Environment”, Lombok, Indonesia. - 2005-2006: “ E-learning Application in the rural area through wireless LAN Technology”, Bantayan Islands, Cebu, the Philippines - 2006-2007: “Distance E- learning and Information sharing by Geometrical Information System on Community Network in rural area through WiMAX Technology in Phu Tho province, Vietnam. This year, the project was carried out in Cambodia with the goal: “Pilot installation of e- Health and e-Education system connected from central hospital and university to rural community in Kandal Province, Cambodia distributed by Wireless LAN Network.” .This project was implemented in Angk Snoul District which is one of the districts in Kandal Province. 1 1.1. Objective of project The objective of our e-Health project is: - To reduce digital divide between remote areas and urban ones by establishing ICT infrastructure so called Broadband Community Network from central hospitals to the rural hospital, schools and community. - To improve health care system in remote areas with the utilization of e-Health applications linking from central/foreign hospitals to the rural ones. - To disseminate the health care information and awareness to rural people by providing online workshops or trainings from central/foreign hospitals and organizations. - To raise awareness and understanding of people for the great benefit of ICT for facilitating and solving the health issue. The objective of our e-Education project is: - To give students and teachers at remote schools an access to new teaching materials from urban university. - To improve the quality of education in remote schools by providing real-time, online teachings from urban university by university teachers. - To enable remote students, teacher as well as urban university teacher to have an access to the Internet in search of new learning materials, which are very beneficial to catch up with the rest of the world. - To be part of human resource development in Cambodia. - To improve more cooperation and communication between education in rural and in the city. - To create a model of sharing and contribution for other universities to follow so that they will be able to take part in providing e-education across the country. Through this project, we definitely hope that it will help to bring the better health care and education system to the rural people in Cambodia. 2 1.2.
