 WHO eHealth Pavilion
The WHO eHealth pavilion showcases information and communication technologies (ICTs) in health in countries. Visitors can enjoy
unique exhibits and a packed schedule of information sessions and technology demonstrations throughout the week.

Welcome and tours

The New York based nongovernmental organization (NGO) "Health Committee" welcomes visitors, facilitates group tours and
manages the Side Forum events. They also propose a thematic tour of country and industry pavilions, highlighting technologies of
special interest for health.

WHO Corner
Features a wide variety of WHO, country and regional initiatives in eHealth.

Applications Showcase
With the theme "eHealth through the life course", the pavilion includes technologies, software and systems designed for developing
countries. Exhibitors include NGOs, universities and the private sector and cover topics such as public health (e.g., surveillance),
health services delivery, and special applications. Large screens and an internet connection to remote sites enable short
demonstrations on telemedicine, e-learning, use of mobile technologies and a real-time "view from the field".
