In total, thirteen articles and one report were included that are elaborately discussed in the results section. A review of the literature undertaken found that adopting e-learning or e-health has an optimistic impact in the expansion of healthcare in Bangladesh however there is a need for clear government policy to sustain the progress towards a Digital Bangladesh.

Summary
The idea of "E-learning" is expressed in terms of ‘electronic learning’ -where learning takes place mostly without the aid of printed material. The students can take part in any online course on the desired topic with the help of the Internet, audio/video recording, interactive television programmes etc. With the advancement of Internet technology and the availability of mobile phones as well as computers, the popularity of e-learning is increasing every day. Since the year 2000, the concept of m-learning has grown in various ways. According to Baran (2014; 18), the evolution of these concepts has mainly highlighted positive m-learning traits such as "mobility" (Sharples et al, 2009), "ability" (Parsons and Ryu, 2006), and "immediateness" (Kynäslahti, 2003). Regardless of the presentation, m-learning is considered the new stage of e-learning as smart mobile phone technology has made it popular among students (Korucu and Alkan, 2011)
