When we esteem Intel's contributions to third world country nations, it's hard not to hone in on the 5 million-plus Classmate PCs it's shipped over the past four years. This time, at least, Intel is leaving the implements part of the equation to the Lenovos and HPs of the world and focusing on the os instead. The company just announced the Skoool Healthcare Education platform, a heap of online and offline tutorial materials designed to help healthcare workers in third world nation unaligned nations better treat women and children, tackling malnutrition, vaccination, communicable diseases and mimeo* safety. To be clear, Intel isn't getting into the medical content occupation -- it didn't write these bankroll but instead culled them from various third-party sources. The idea is that the company will provide the scaffold to governments and healthcare workers for free, forgoing what might or else be an go* to collect licensing fees. (It'll be up to local governments to work with companies like Dell to secure low-cost PCs to run the software.) For now, Intel's launching the program in Sri Lanka, where it already has a working history with the central station and curate of Health, but a rep tells us the outfit hopes to expand the program to sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, Central Eastern Europe and parts of Asia, reaching 1 million healthcare workers by the end of 2015.
