wireless reach*: peru
making a difference in peru: connecting a rural clinic
A small clinic in a rural village a few hours from Machu Picchu serves the people of the
“Sacred Valley of the Incas.” Volunteer U.S. doctors serve residents who would otherwise
have no access to healthcare. Harsh mountainous terrain makes traditional wireline
connectivity unreliable. QUALCOMM donated equipment, including laptops, camera/
video phones, data cards and related services allowing external communications for
the rst time. Now, visiting physicians at the clinic can communicate with colleagues
from all over the world in real time to help diagnose patients.
* This program is part of QUALCOMM’s Wireless Reach initiative, a program aimed at empowering
underserved communities worldwide via advanced wireless connectivity.
