E-Health in Egypt: A Brief Review

Published:18 May 2015Publication History

ABSTRACT

E-health is defined as the use of information and communications technologies (ICT) in supporting health and health-related fields. The goal of this review is to survey efforts and accomplishments performed on e-health systems in Egypt, assess their potential impact, and guide future implementations and evaluations. The review shows that Egypt has still a long way to go in realizing a fully integrated efficient e-health system, but there is an undeniable hope that it has started on the long tedious journey towards e-health system.
