Summary

This study tests whether connecting ambulances carrying seriously ill children to a remote doctor via a simple audio-video device improves care. Researchers in Karachi, Pakistan will compare health outcomes for 900 children who either receive a telemedicine call during transport or standard paramedic care. The goal is to see if this approach leads to better medical decisions and healthier kids.
