R4D is pleased to present "The Economics of eHealth" paper, authored by Principal, Julian Schweitzer, and Program Associate, Christina Synowiec. This paper provides an outline of key economic and financial questions to pursue in informing in-country eHealth policy and strategy investments.
e- and mHealth can help overcome core health obstacles in poor countries such as access, information and trained staff. However, there are very few resources available to help policymakers in these countries prioritize e- and mHealth investments based on the full range of financial costs and benefits, focusing on the initiatives with the greatest impact, ability to scale up, and sustainability.
