Consult Online is a Dutch telemedicine system for physicians who work in international healthcare and tropical medicine (formerly known as 'tropical doctors'). It provides specialist advice for complicated cases where local specialist services are lacking. Eighty-nine experts from 25 different specialties are available for advice via www.troie.nl/consult-online. Most of these experts have worked in low resource settings for years before becoming specialists in other disciplines. Since its inception in 2008, Consult Online has received 639 consultations from 41 different countries. On average, a consultation resulted in 2.3 reactions. Consult Online is not the only telemedicine service for low resource settings, but it offers Dutch physicians the unique opportunity to liaise with specialists from their home country, who understand their background, training and limitations. A decade later, it continues to be available to anyone in need of tailor-made specialist advice for patients in low resource settings.
“在线咨询”是一个面向从事国际医疗保健和热带医学工作的医生（以前称为“热带病医生”）的荷兰远程医疗系统。它为缺乏当地专科服务的复杂病例提供专家建议。来自25个不同专业的89位专家可通过www.troie.nl/consult-online提供咨询服务。这些专家中的大多数在成为其他学科的专家之前，已经在资源匮乏地区工作多年。自2008年成立以来，“在线咨询”已收到来自41个不同国家的639次咨询。平均每次咨询会收到2.3条回复。“在线咨询”并非唯一一项针对资源匮乏地区的远程医疗服务，但它为荷兰医生提供了一个独特的机会，使他们能够与来自本国的专家联系，这些专家了解他们的背景、培训情况和局限性。十年后，它仍然可供任何需要为资源匮乏地区的患者提供量身定制的专家建议的人使用。
