International Virtual e-Hospital Foundation

The International Virtual e-Hospital Foundation IVeH (former Kosova Foundation for Medical Development) is a non-profit organization (501©3), with the home office in Austin, Texas. IVeH was created to help rebuild the medical system in Kosova by introducing and implementing telemedicine, telehealth and virtual educational programs through the International Virtual e-Hospital (IVeH) Network. Since its establishment in 2001, volunteers and Board members of IVEH have worked tirelessly on a telemedicine and virtual education network in Kosova and the Balkans. IVeH developed the Telemedicine Center of Kosova and is currently developing the Integrated Telemedicine and e-Health Program (ITeHP) of Albania. In 2012 we launched our first African program, the Integrated Telemedicine and e-Health Program – Republic of Cape Verde (ITEHP-CV). IVeH is managed solely by its volunteers and governed by an international Board of Directors. We work to create an affordable model in developing countries which will combine telemedicine and virtual educational programs through international collaboration for the creation of human capacities that will independently manage telemedicine and telehealth in those countries.
