Hanna Goorden of IICD analysed the Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) data that has been gathered from the IICD projects in the health sector. She reports on the satisfaction of project users with the health services they use through the project and how the project has impacted their lives.
The brief starts by exploring how ICT can strengthen the health care sector and how IICD health projects contribute to ICT awareness, empowerment and impact on health care.
The IICD projects are clustered to distinguish the different categories of project users. This classification is useful for IICD, as it better allows attributing impact to our different groups of project users:
- Policy-makers
- Health staff and/or health students (including Health, hospital & patient information, Professional development & Continuous Medical Education (CME), and Telemedicine)
- Patients and/or people in the community
The second part discusses the M&E results and summarises the main lessons-learned from the health projects.
