ABSTRACT

A telephone system was established to transmit fetal monitor data to a tertiary center from small rural hospitals with limited experience in interpreting such tracings. This type of program fosters sound obstetric management and appropriate therapeutic intervention of monitored patients in rural areas. We believe that similar service can be established by other tertiary hospitals.
