eHealth Forum 2006 - Building a Healthy Tomorrow Using IT
Date:
15 - 16 September 2006 (Friday - Saturday)
Venue:
Hong Kong Academy of Medicine
99 Wong Chuk Hang Road, Hong Kong
In the wake of the SARS outbreak in 2003, the world is under severe threat of the H5N1 avian flu virus that has a mortality rate of up to 50%, a much higher rate than the SARS virus. Scientists worldwide are convinced that a pandemic is imminent which may result in a death toll in hundreds of millions if a H5N1 outbreak cannot be contained quickly at the source location. The inevitable consequential economic and social collapse of such a catastrophe, should it be allowed to happen, is unthinkable.
Recognizing the important role of information and communication technologies in support of health care, the Fifty-Eighth World Health Assembly called on its member states to implement plans for eHealth services for cost effective health administration, to mobilize multi-sectoral collaboration for determining evidence-based eHealth standards and norms, and electronic public health information systems for surveillance of and rapid response to disease and public-health emergencies.
The eHealth Forum 2006 is the signature event of the eHealth Consortium, a multi-sectoral collaboration in Hong Kong to make recommendations on measures to respond to the pandemic threat and answer the call of the Fifty-Eighth World Health Assembly.
