Abstract :
eHealth in African countries must support local, regional and national health strategies alongside demands for other healthcare resources for more doctors, other healthcare professionals, drugs, vaccines, preventative programmes and facilities. eHealth must be affordable. Comparative studies in European and African contexts show an approach for rational, sustainable and affordable eHealth.
