Consult Online is a telemedicine system used to provide advice to Dutch tropical doctors. Set up in 2008 by the Dutch Association of Tropical Doctors in Training, it aims to support tropical doctors who would otherwise not have access to specialist consult. By logging onto the website www.tropenopleiding.nl, they can consult over 50 experts from 17 different specialties, most of whom are Dutch specialists who have previously worked as tropical doctors. Four years after its start, Consult Online was evaluated: it had received 146 consultations from 15 different countries. Over half of these (54%) had been answered the same day; 79% within two days. The average number of reactions to a consultation was 3. In this way, Consult Online makes it possible to provide expert advice to doctors of patients in developing countries.
在线咨询是一个用于向荷兰热带病医生提供建议的远程医疗系统。它由荷兰热带病实习医生协会于2008年设立，旨在支持那些原本无法获得专家咨询的热带病医生。通过登录网站www.tropenopleiding.nl，他们可以咨询来自17个不同专业的50多名专家，其中大多数是曾担任过热带病医生的荷兰专家。在线咨询启动四年后进行了评估：它收到了来自15个不同国家的146次咨询。其中超过一半（54%）在当天得到了回复；79%在两天内得到回复。每次咨询的平均回复数量为3条。通过这种方式，在线咨询使得向发展中国家患者的医生提供专家建议成为可能。
