HON is pleased to announce our new collaboration with WHO in the project "Obtaining Reliable Medical Information Online: A Study Focusing on Francophone Africa"

In this project, supported by the Geneva International Academic Network (GIAN), complementary initiatives are being undertaken in order to draft recommendations for the compilation and evaluation of on-line medical data that take into account socio-cultural and economic factors. These recommendations will then be presented at a consensus conference to be held in May 2007.

This year HON is actively participating in this conference in organising and chairing the executive seminar "eHealth and Patient Empowerment" with the participation of David Garwood (Secretary, Patients' and Citizens Task Force, EHTEL United Kingdom), Dr Petra Wilson (Director, Public Sector Healthcare Europe, Cisco Systems) and Alberto Sanna, PhD (Director, e-Services for Life & Health, University H San Raffaele).
