Workshops

E-Health is defined as the use of information and communications technology to improve the performance of health systems. Information and communications technology (ICT) provides a major opportunity to address some of the challenges health sectors across our partner countries battle with, by providing solutions for delivery of health care from a distance, support continuous human resource development through e-learning platforms, track drug flows and support rational drug use, track of financial flows and finally assist in collecting data to inform timely and integrated health system decisions.
