This book represents the most
current development on the expanding and changing field of
telemedicine and e-health, especially in the developing
countries. Many things have changed since the publication of the
first book in 2004 (Establishing Telemedicine in Developing
Countries: From Inception to Implementation).Telemedicine has
become more popular, and still continues to grow. While there
are many good books and materials on telemedicine, this
publication can be seen at the work of reference for all of
those who want to practice telemedicine and e-health,
particularly in developing countries. This publication deals
with ways to establish telemedicine and e-health system, not
only in the developing countries, but also in the developed
world. I hope that this book will be the guide we all wanted to
have and reflect the status of telemedicine at the given time.
It is dedicated to all future generations of telemedicine and
e-health students which include healthcare practitioners,
administrators, policy makers, technical professionals and
others.
