Abstract
<p>Telehealth and e-health are providing a means to transform systems of care for children throughout the world by providing greater access to clinical service and consultation, as well as sharing knowledge, education, and training. Leap-frogging over prior barriers, these information and communication technologies (ICT) also have the potential to offer greater access to these services in developing countries.<sup><a href="http://qa.healio.com/sitecore/shell/Controls/Rich%20Text%20Editor/EditorPage.aspx?da=core&amp;id=%7b6308AEC6-A8E5-4866-A6BF-2E2343EF5F6F%7d&amp;ed=FIELD930142695&amp;vs&amp;la=en&amp;fld=%7b0B37FA8E-B2A6-4AE9-8E4F-53651D5CB226%7d&amp;so=%2fsitecore%2fsystem%2fsettings%#x00904481-20090918-11-bibr1">1</a></sup> The use of telehealth must be put in the context of the critical health needs in each country, cultural perspectives, current and future communication infrastructure, other supportive resources, and likelihood for sustainability. Furthermore, these telehealth efforts should be aimed at improving the local capacity in providing ongoing health services in each country and blending into that country&rsquo;s current and future healthcare system. Fundamental steps in addressing global health issues include reducing poverty, improving education and health promotion strategies, ensuring access to clean water, and investing in sustainable waste removal and renewable energy programs.</p>
