Dear Rashid:
(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I) with a kind invitation to your
wonderful symposium on telemedicine at your university on May 21-22, 2004.
Yes, I recall the very interesting consultancy workshop at the WHO in Genev=
a
which was held by our friend, Salah Mandil, where I met you.
> BTW, Salah introduced me to Dr. Taro Nakayama of the Liberal Democratic P=
arty
> in Tokyo, who later became the Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs. He =
has a
> medical background and was a key person who backed the construction of th=
e
> Medical Information Network via Communication Satellite for the Universit=
y
> Hospital (MINCS-UH) which connects about two dozen university hospitals i=
n
> Japan =8B this was constructed with about US$100 million several years ago.
>=20
>> Our 1998 =B3Global Lecture Hall (GLH)=B2 videoconference originated at the
>> University of Amazon in Brazil had its description by Prof. Kiuchi of th=
e
>> University of Tokyo from Tokyo via audio line with PowerPoint slide show=
.
>> This event and others triggered the satellite linkages of universities i=
n
>> Amazon region, e.g., 8 Mbps at the University of Amazonas, etc.
>=20
> My suggestion to Dr. Nakayama (with the help of Dr. Hiroshi Inose, Laurea=
te of
> the Medal of Culture) became the Japanese government=B9s pledge of US$15 bi=
llion
> at the Okinawa Summit in July of 2000 to close the digital divide, -- wit=
h
> which the UN=B9s movement on it started.
Dear President Komiyama:
(2) It was my great pleasure and honor to have had an opportunity to visit
you on 2/4th afternoon.
I thank you for your providing me with an excellent proceedings of
telemedicine demonstrations =B3Development of Advanced Telemedicine and
Telehealthcare Techniques: Research Report, Project Year 2000-2002=B2
conducted at your university=B9s school of medicine. This is very impressive=
,
and I read it with great interest.
(3) I strongly suggest that you send Prof. Murase (or some appropriate
person) to Rashid=B9s conference, since it is the most authoritative one in
the US. Since your school of medicine is the most active on telemedicine i=
n
Japan, I am sure they can provide Rashid with valuable Japanese experiences=
.
Dear Zakir and those who attended Zakir=B9s Telemedicine Conference in Dhaka,
Bangladesh last month:
(4) I also strongly suggest that you may attend this conference.
(5) If President Komiyama would send someone, I would be very happy to
introduce Zakir to him so that telemedicine practice may be conducted
constantly between Shinshu of Japan and Bangladesh in the near future =8B as
they have already done between Shinshu and Belarus.
Dear Ms. Wiseman:
(6) Many thanks again for your msg (ATTACHMENT II). You may attend this
conference to publicize your effort.
> Dear Zakir:
> Your wife (who is teaching human anatomy) may be interested in visiting h=
er
> web and contacting her.
>=20
> She may also contact Prof. Mike Uretsky of New York University, since his=
team
> has also created the same as hers, -- though I haven=B9t seen it yet.

Best, Tak
