Abstract (Original Language): 
E-Sağlık, sağlık hizmetleri iyileştirme amacıyla sağlık bilgilerini daha iyi bir şekilde toplamaya, analiz etmeye, yönetmeye ve paylaşmaya olanak tanıyan modern bir araçtır. BİT teknolojilerinin sunduğu, sağlık sistemine uygun, sürdürülebilir ve zorlu çözümler gelişmiş ülkelerde e-Sağlık alanının ilgi çekmesi ve yaygınlaşması sonucunu doğurmuştur. Bu açıdan bakıldığında, Afrika ülkelerinin sağlık hizmetlerinin kalitesini iyileştirme hedefinde e-Sağlık uygulamalarını verimli bir şekilde deneyimleyebilecekleri görülmektedir. Bu makalede, Afrika ülkeleri için e-Sağlık uygulamalarının temel bileşenleri, stratejileri, fırsatları ve gelişimi ele alınmaktadır. Çalışmada, pilot olarak merkezi bir Afrika ülkesi olan Gabon seçilmiştir. Gabon'daki tüm sağlık konularını göz önüne alan bu yenilikçi sağlık çözümleri, mali açıdan uygun maliyetli, güvenilir ve daha etkili sağlık hizmetleri sunmak amacıyla yasal çerçeve ve fonksiyonel stratejiler oluşturarak başarılabilir. Bu bağlamda, sağlık hizmetleri alanında birçok çaba sarf edilmesi gerektiği için, politika yapıcı olarak hükümet bu BT teknolojilerinin kullanımı için daha aktif hareket etmelidir.
