e-Health (Public List)

The infrastructure and human resource needs of health facilities across the developing world are colossal. To bring these services via conventional means can be costly, often taking decades to build adequate clinics and hospitals. ICTs have the capacity to connect underserved areas with medical institutions and professionals, bringing content and knowledge in a timely, cost-effective way.
