2. Introduction
 As head of Medweb, Peter Killcommons leads a
San Francisco-based provider of medical imaging,
telemedicine, and teleradiology solutions. Peter
Killcommons and his team have a strong
philanthropic focus and seek to create a robust
telemedicine delivery system in areas of
Afghanistan that rely on basic rural hospitals.
Medweb staff members travel to remote areas of
the world and promote telemedicine as a way of
ensuring that existing facilities are maximized and
that underserved populations receive advanced
care.

3. Medweb
 In addition to providing high-level consultation in
medical specialties as required, the Medweb team
provides health care educational solutions. These
help build indigenous capacities in the diagnosis
and treatment of serious illnesses. Another aim is
to avoid duplication of services, which can waste
limited resources in communities that experience
poverty due to social and geographical factors.
Pete Killcommons and the Medweb team work
closely with local hospitals and health care
programs to understand critical needs
communities face.
