Now that eHealth is high on the agendas of governments, the international community (including funding agencies), industry, and civil society, the application of new technologies will disrupt this unstable ecosystem even more so. The deployment of technologies as diverse as mobile devices and national data processing centres will result in the collection and processing of even greater amounts of information. The ongoing drive to increase the interoperability of once discrete health systems further complicated the dynamcis of healthcare provision. Yet this need not conflict with privacy. Privacy and eHealth may even complement one another.The purpose of this study is to identify the current dynamics regarding eHealth privacy and security in developing countries and humanitarian operations.
