Introducing eHealth

The use of the Internet, email, social networking sites and mobile phones are rapidly expanding in Ghana. Between 60% and 80% of people in the country are estimated to be using mobile phones. These tools and platforms are creating opportunities for the effective use of e-Health solutions to improve national health systems. GCNet has recently launched 3 e-Health services.

About eHealth

The World Health Assembly in 2018 acknowledged the potential of digital technologies to play a major role in improving public health, where delegates agreed on a resolution on digital health. The resolution urges Member States to prioritize the development and greater use of digital technologies in health as a means of promoting Universal Health Coverage and advancing the Sustainable Development Goals. (71st World Health Assembly, 2018; Geneva, Switzerland)

In short, e-Health is the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to improve public-health.

GCNet’s e-Health team works with partners at the global, regional and Ghana’s country level to promote and strengthen the use of ICT in health development.
