Abstract

We report the experience gained in an e-Health project in the Gauteng province, in South Africa. A Proof-of-Concept of the project has been already installed in 3 clinics in the Sebokeng township. The project is now going to be applied to 300 clinics in the whole province. This extension of the Proof-of-Concept can however give rise to security flaws because of the inclusion of rural areas with unreliable Internet connection. We address this problem and propose a safe solution. e-Infrastructure and e-Services for Developing Countries - Third International ICST Conference (AFRICOMM11)
