Past Graduates


Ali M. Eunus from Bangladesh (2006 - 2008)

The Master's Programme of Telemedicine and E-health has really an international focus with its highly constructive course curriculum in context of public health services, management and development.  i was really lucky to be a student of that Programme.  After returning to Bangladesh, I responded to my friends, "My study and life in Tromsø was really great!"  During my study period in the Health field of study, I have learned a lot - the new ways of working together in public health services, organizational adaptation of new technology, strategic management of health related products and technology. 

In Bangladesh, now I am working as an Executive in pharmaceutical products management in a renowned pharmaceutical organization and also a part-time lecturer in pharmacy and public health at a university.  The Master's Programme has helped me, in an outstanding way, to keep pace with this challenging career.

Ieva Vitola from Latvia (2005 - 2007)

After graduating from Telemedicine and E-health Master Programme at the University of Tromsø in 2007, I returned back home to Latvia and in autumn 2007 I started working in Pauls Stradins Clinical University Hospital (PSCUH).

The Ministry of Health assigned PSCUH the responsibility for the implementation of one of the national E-health projects - Central Archive for Visual Diagnostics.  I have been working as a Project Manager for this Project.  In the framework of E-health strategy in Latvia, the Ministry of Health has established an E-health working group that consists of representatives from the Ministry of Health as well asn the national E-health Project Managers (so far we have 5 national projects).  We have monthly meetings and we discuss the issues related to the implementation of our national E-health projects.  I also take part in working groups related to the creating of the legal framework for the future E-health services.

The Master's Programme has been valuable for creating a better understanding of the complexity of IT in healthcare and difficulties of successful implementation of e-health solutions, also it has served as a good information source about different experiences with development and implementation of various E-health services (especially in Norway).  Close collaboration with NST provides very good environment for the Programme.  Learning from the various E-health projects directly from the project leaders can be both interesting and stimulating.
