Solutions · Telerounding
Bring a specialist to every bedside — without the ambulance ride.
Telerounding lets ASV Clinic consultants conduct virtual ward rounds and in-patient consultations in partner hospitals and clinics. Using purpose-built telemedicine equipment, our specialists support resident medical officers to manage complex cases on-site — cutting referrals, long ambulance trips to tertiary centres, and mortality from delayed care.

Why telerounding
Specialist expertise where it's needed most — at the bedside.
In Ghana and across sub-Saharan Africa, the shortage of specialists is concentrated outside major cities. Telerounding closes that gap: experienced consultants assist on-site clinicians in real time, so patients get the right care faster and closer to home.
Fewer avoidable referrals
Manage complex cases on-site with specialist guidance — avoid risky long-distance ambulance transfers to tertiary centres.
Lower mortality risk
Timely specialist intervention at the bedside reduces deaths linked to delayed escalation of care.
Upskill your medical team
Resident medical officers learn directly from senior consultants during live rounds — building local capacity.
Safer transitions of care
Daily virtual rounds catch deterioration earlier and standardize handovers between shifts.
Strengthen district hospitals
Keep more patients in their communities by extending tertiary-level expertise to district and mission facilities.
Better outcomes, lower cost
Shorter length of stay, fewer complications and reduced transport costs for patients and the health system.
