The Pan American
Health
Organization/World
Health
Organization (PAHO/WHO), with support from the Spanish Cooperation, has created the first
Laboratory on eHealth for the Americas
, in response to the commitment made with Member States to offer a space that encourages
research, promotion
and debate of the objectives and
strategies
on the application of
information
and
communication
technologies (ICT) to
public health
. The
Laboratory on eHealth for the Americas
is a portal that offers experiences and eHealth developments in countries in the
Americas
. It also offers a
collection
of recommended readings, tools and expert inputs to support the development of national
eHealth strategies
. This collaborative workspace also responds to one of the indicators of the PAHO/WHO Strategy and Plan of Action on eHealth for the
Americas
, adopted by Member States in 2011, which seeks to contribute to the
sustainable development
of
health systems
in the
Americas
, and to improve access and quality of these
health systems
through the use of ICT. (From: PAHO eHEALTH. Available in: https://bit.ly/2NJFLUZ)
