Synopsis:
Rural healthcare system in a developing country like Bangladesh is lagging behind, because of its traditional infrastructure and resources management. The rural healthcare system is not well developed and planned and that's why is a very much costlier and lengthy process to the rural people to get modern healthcare services. The main purpose of this work is to design a healthcare network system that will enable rural patients to get modern facilities and healthcare, at reduced time and cost. This proposed model consists of three different sites – remote, regional and central office, with modern hospital, under the same network. A central database system has been proposed for storing health data. Data security and privacy will be ensured to both patient and doctor.
