Fundação para a Divulgação das Tecnologias de Informação - FDTI (Foundation for the Propagation of Information Technologies) is promoting the launch of the second phase of its Project ''A smile with ICTs'' at Madeira’s Funchal Central Hospital tomorrow, 13 June at 12pm.
The goal of this project is to provide paediatric units of public hospitals with technological equipment that will provide their younger patients (2 to 14 years) with the opportunity to engage in leisure activities and to keep in contact with family, friends and school. Aimed also at technicians, hospital volunteers and patients' families, the project equips these units with personal and portable computers, webcams, broadband internet connections, leisure and educational software and sites for family blogs. It also aims to provide specific training to the hospital technicians and families.
The four-year project has the support of the Ministry of Health and the Secretary of State for Youth and Sport and the cooperation of public hospitals.
This FDTI initiative is also being supported by ANACOM.
