The information landscape in every industry is the core to improving efficiency and quality. This is not different for the health Information system which when harnessed and improved can help the healthcare industry to meet its goals faster and better. In order to develop a healthcare information system that relies on the power of technology to solve issues, it must be carefully analyzed and designed to match the needs of the environment in which it is deployed.
EHealth and mHealth are the keys to harnessing the power of technology in a one and unified system. Cameroon has a very low usage of IT which can be enhanced by slowly developing a health infrastructure in which we initiate every stakeholder into the technological system to interact with every other stakeholder in ways that were traditionally done physically. The demand for such a system can be seen as the overall development of ICT has already penetrated the healthcare sector in telephones and computers which already serve real purposes. Carrying out research in the Cameroonian health sector further exposed the opportunities and challenges for such a system.
