02.01.01 Mon projet contribue à l'objectif 'Pas de pauvreté'

5

02.01.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

TELEH contributes to the "No Poverty" goal by improving healthcare efficiency and accessibility, which can reduce healthcare costs for patients. By minimizing administrative burdens and streamlining care coordination, TELEH helps lower operational costs for healthcare facilities, potentially translating to lower costs for patients. Furthermore, improved health outcomes lead to a healthier workforce, which can contribute to economic stability and poverty reduction.

02.02.01 Mon projet contribue à l'objectif 'Faim Zéro'

4

02.02.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

While TELEH primarily focuses on healthcare management, there is an indirect contribution to "Zero Hunger" through the improvement of health outcomes. Healthy individuals are better able to contribute to and benefit from agricultural activities, thus supporting food security. However, the direct impact on hunger and nutrition is limited, and therefore the contribution to this goal is neutral.

02.03.01 Mon projet contribue à l'objectif 'Bonne Santé et Bien Être'

7 - Tout à fait d'accord

02.03.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

TELEH strongly contributes to the "Good Health and Well-being" goal by providing a comprehensive solution for managing healthcare information. The integration of EHR, appointment scheduling, and patient engagement tools ensures that healthcare providers have timely and accurate information to make better clinical decisions. This leads to improved patient outcomes, reduced errors, and more effective healthcare delivery. Enhanced patient engagement also promotes preventive care and better management of chronic diseases, contributing to overall health and well-being.

02.04.01 Mon projet contribue à l'objectif 'Éducaiton de Qualité'

5

02.04.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

TELEH indirectly supports the "Quality Education" goal by providing training and capacity building for healthcare providers on using advanced health information systems. This enhances their skills and knowledge, leading to better healthcare practices. Additionally, the data collected through TELEH can be used for research and education purposes, contributing to the advancement of medical knowledge and the training of future healthcare professionals.

4

02.06.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

TELEH's direct contribution to the "Clean Water and Sanitation" goal is minimal. However, by improving overall health outcomes and reducing the incidence of waterborne diseases through better healthcare management, there is an indirect positive impact. Healthier communities are better able to maintain and demand clean water and sanitation services. The focus of TELEH remains primarily on healthcare management rather than on water and sanitation directly.

02.07.01 Mon projet contribue à l'objectif 'Énergie Propre et Abordable'

4

02.07.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

TELEH's direct impact on affordable and clean energy is minimal as the project focuses on healthcare management rather than energy solutions. However, by improving healthcare efficiency and reducing operational costs, healthcare facilities may have more resources to invest in clean and sustainable energy solutions in the long run. Thus, while there is a potential indirect benefit, the primary focus of TELEH remains within the healthcare domain.

02.13.01 Mon projet contribue à l'objectif 'Luttle contre les Changements Climatiques'

4

02.13.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

ELEH's direct impact on climate action is limited as the project is centered on healthcare management. However, the project indirectly supports climate action by promoting digital solutions and reducing the need for paper-based records and processes. This can contribute to a reduction in the carbon footprint associated with healthcare administration. Nevertheless, the primary focus of TELEH does not align directly with climate action initiatives.

02.14.01 Mon projet contribue à l'objectif 'Vie Sous-Marine'

3

02.14.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

TELEH does not have a direct impact on the "Life Below Water" goal as it focuses on healthcare management and does not involve activities related to marine ecosystems or resources. The primary objectives and activities of TELEH do not intersect with the conservation and sustainable use of oceans, seas, and marine resources.

02.15.01 Mon projetp contribue à l'objectif 'Vie Terrestre'

4

02.15.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

TELEH's contribution to the "Life on Land" goal is indirect. By improving overall health outcomes, the project supports healthier communities that are better equipped to manage and conserve terrestrial ecosystems. However, the primary focus of TELEH is on healthcare management rather than directly addressing issues related to land ecosystems, forests, and biodiversity.
