Humanitarian Medical Cloud Computing System (HMCCS)

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to incorporate the RRI framework in the process of addressing the Syrian humanitarian crisis. It proposes a practical solution to the scarcity of health care access in war-torn zones and camps of refugees by applying a wide interdisciplinary collaboration approach. It calls the international medical and health communities to collaborate with the UN system and all the stakeholders concerned with tackling the Syrian crisis. It urges them to consider the implications of cloud computing for improving the quality of public health care and to explore the important role that information technology (IT) can play in humanitarian contexts.
