Health Affairs Journal Devotes Entire Issue to eHealth in Developing Nations
Health Affairs, the leading health reform and policy journal, devotes an entire issue to eHealth in the developing world. These articles stem from ideas seeded at the Making the eHealth Connection Conference Series at the Foundation’s Bellagio Center. The authors were active Conference Series participants.
Much work still needs to be done to move from silos to systems and to encourage person-centered, user-driven, integrated, collaborative, sustainable, scalable, reusable, demand-driven eHealth in-country and on a global level. The Rockefeller Foundation will continue our collective efforts to achieve this goal.
Here are the articles, including an Intro from the editor, with links to the full text:
