International Telemedicine

Through our partnership with Henan Children’s Hospital, China’s largest pediatric hospital, we provide physician-to-physician consultation and other services to this large academic medical center affiliated with Henan University in Zhengzhou, China.

The program involves a range of remote care, including:

  • Pathological diagnosis
  • Medical imaging
  • Home monitoring
  • Outpatient services
  • Patient care discussions

Lurie Children’s also connects with other international providers to offer medical second opinions and collaborate on patients with complex medical needs requiring specialty support and involvement. We also use technology to assist in the transfer and follow-up care for Lurie Children’s patients from outside the United States who have returned to their country of origin.
