Abstract

The new buzz word in the healthcare industry is Electronic health or E-health. This plays an important role in making services more accessible and person-centred, as well as improving the operations and financial efficiency of health systems1. Unequal access to technology means not everyone can benefit from e-health initiatives, so addressing its limitations is also important. E-health interventions can benefit clinicians and patients, enabling outreach to key populations and improving the exchange of information between health service providers and their patients.
