Abstract

This communication brings into light some theoretical and conceptual aspects on e-health as an ICT application area. Actually, various definitions are successively presented in order to clarify such a concept. By offering an insight into Morocco, the focus is given on a case of a developing country that is more and more interested by this specific project. In fact, from the Government point of view, several strategic orientations have been identified so as to give an e-health orientation to national goals. The main interest lies in the fact that e-health offers to all stakeholders the possibility to access a health network that is efficient and available at different level: information, administration, diagnosis, therapy, medical prescription, monitoring… Before presenting the Moroccan’s case, this contribution first gives conceptual aspects on e-health and then considers it in e-Morocco, the global e-government process. Finally, practical and realistic solutions are proposed in order to better apprehend and integrate e-health applications according to human, material and financial available resources.
