Way to go.

Obviously there are many ways to do this. While the general idea is clear you 
might consider giving more details.

Where do you want to store the data ? In Italy or Ivory coast ?
One common server or two seperate servers that sync data ?
Or maybe just one server at Ivory coast and intermittent access for Italian 
doctors ?
What do you have availabe in terms of network ? constant internet connection ?

If you don't consult numerous cases pe rminute but rather a few per day I 
guess the easiest way would be export of case related material as a file or 
as a webpage and online viewing by Italian doctors. I guess no import is 
needed from Italian data besides clinical consultation summary ?

Take a look at http://ipath.ch/site/

I guess I would think about deploying gnumed and adding an record2html 
exporter for a start and later look into a combination of ipath and gnumed.

Depends on what you really try to do really.

Hard to tell unless to specify your exact use case. We might be able to point 
out a nice solution with the current gnumed code.
