[OLPC library] eHealth Information

[Chris Leonard]

All,

There are some very interesting materials posted from this on-going
conference.

Website: http://www.ehealth-connection.org/
I found the article below to be of particular interest.  It is my ambition
to capture a fraction of the information available on such portals for
internationalization and use in the offline XO Health Portal project I am
working on  ( http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Health_portal ), while also
providing on-line links to portals such as those discussed (even though they
may not always address i18n or local issues as well as might be desirable):

*eHealth Portals: Access to Health Information in the Context of Government
Health Portals **Nicholas Cop:*

I would also like to point out that the message below was sent to the
EQUIDAD List:

http://listserv.paho.org/Archives/equidad.html

This is an excellent, low-volume announce-only list produced by PAHO and I
recommend it to anyone interested in these issues.

"This message from the Pan American Health Organization, PAHO/WHO, is part
of an effort to disseminate  information Related to: Equity; Health
inequality; Socioeconomic inequality in health; Socioeconomic  health
differentials; Gender; Violence; Poverty; Health Economics; Health
Legislation; Ethnicity; Ethics; Information Technology - Virtual libraries;
Research & Science issues."
