The
publication of
eHealth Conversations, developed with the support of the Spanish
Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), represents a major step forward for the
PAHO/
WHO Strategy, since it explores ways of implementing regional mechanisms with free and equitable
access to information and
knowledge sharing. These initiatives aim to advance the
goals of more informed, equitable, competitive, and democratic
societies, where access to
health information is considered a basic right. This
publication is one of the instruments used by
PAHO/

PAHO/

technologies for the

electronic book is one of the products of
PAHO/
WHOs project

Knowledge Exchange to Move Toward
Universal Access to Health. ...
