If re-checking does not work, we can manually confirm that you are in a member country if you send us an email. After we confirm that you are in a member country we can provide you with instructions on how to manually download the MedTalk SNOMED data and install it.

I’m triying to download the MedTalk Data Base to my android phone but I can’t. I downloaded the aplication from Android Market, but the process stoped because the button ‘Donwload SNOMED-CT Database’ did not appear on my phone screen. I’m in Spain, an ISHTO member.
