The African Union accepted the proposal and signed an umbrella MOU with the Indian government. TCIL was appointed the turnkey implementing agency for the project network. TCIL's role includes design and implementation of Total Network Solution Operations and Management Support for the project period, and providing Tele-Education and Tele-Medicine Services in collaboration with Indian universities and Super Speciality Hospitals selected by the Indian government.
The network has been in operation since February 2009. The project was recently extended by another five years.
