eHealth

In 2008, IntraHealth’s CEO Pape Gaye joined over 100 representatives of national governments, universities, charitable foundations, and development organizations to create the Bellagio eHealth Call to Action. This seminal document calls upon the world’s leaders and development partners to “accelerate achievement of better health for all in the 21st century…through interoperable, person-centered, evidence-based, and sustainable eHealth systems. Ultimately, these efforts will contribute to more equitable health care and improve the well-being of all the world’s citizens.”

Despite their promise, eHealth activities too often focus on technology and process, leaving out the health worker as the most important contributor to health. IntraHealth brings a unique and critical perspective to this emerging field by promoting the health worker as the ultimate agency of better health information. IntraHealth puts the health worker at the center of eHealth through a variety of approaches. These include:

Countries: Botswana, Lesotho, Kenya, Namibia, Rwanda, Southern Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda

Leadership: Dykki Settle, Director, Health Informatics
