1. What ehealth initiatives exist in different regions of the world? Compare and contrast their aims and activities.

The Information communication technologies (ICT) are used in the Uptake of e-health for the delivery of health care services. When compared with other health care areas the allied health care areas are appears to be lagging behind and the service access by rural and remote Australians are very poor, so the offering the potential service access can clearly address problems resolving (Stagg & Chambers, 2016). In contrast the use of ehealth has been more relied on in other countries who may not have as much remote areas in the country.

2. Discuss two international organizations involved in ehealth initiatives. Describe their roles and provide a sample of their activities.
