Dell and Kallo
Inc.,
http://www.kalloinc.ca (OTCQB: KALO) a healthcare solutions
provider, announced that Dell will design and build the IT
infrastructure for Kallo's healthcare delivery platform. This
includes a state-of-the-art Global Response Centre in Canada,
Clinical Command Centres in a number of strategic locations around
the world and mobile clinics in rural communities.
Dell will work with Kallo to design and build the technology
solution leveraging tablet computers, workstations, servers,
storage, networking and professional services. Once complete the
Global Response Centre will serve as the communications hub for
Kallo's customized healthcare delivery solutions, which include
MobileCare, RuralCare, Hospital Information Systems, Telehealth
Systems, pharmacy information, advanced diagnostics, disaster
management, patient transportation systems and clinical
training.
The Global Response Centre will link to Kallo's local Clinical
Command Centres strategically located at teaching hospitals in
Kallo's countries of operation. Kallo recently won a $200 million
contract with the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene in the
Republic of Guinea, West Africa, to implement a customized
healthcare delivery solution to serve the needs of the country's 10
million population.
Clinical Command Centres will coordinate the activities of
nursing teams, specialists and mobile clinics; provide access to
diagnostics and training for clinical issues faced by front-line
healthcare workers; and, handle administration around logistics,
supply and calibration. These centres will coordinate much-needed
MobileCare and RuralCare programs in local rural communities to
help combat specific healthcare issues such as infant and maternal
mortality, malaria and acute renal failure. These programs will
help developing countries like Guinea work towards achieving World
Health Organization (WHO) Millennium Development Goals
(http://www.who.int/topics/millennium_development_goals/en/) for
healthcare.
"The IT infrastructure forms the backbone of Kallo's entire
healthcare delivery solution. We were impressed with Dell's
portfolio of technology and healthcare solutions and its ability to
provide a one-stop-shop for all Kallo's needs both in Canada and
globally," commented John Cecil, Chairman and CEO, Kallo Inc.
"Working with a single vendor provides economies of scale and
simplifies installation, service and training, and the strength of
the Dell brand name around the world will help Kallo gain the
confidence of local government and decision makers when competing
for supply contracts."
Work is expected to begin on Kallo's Global Response Centre in
Markham, Ontario in mid-summer 2014.
