Satellite-enhanced Telemedicine and e-Health for sub-Saharan Africa

The goal of the overall eHealth for sub-Saharan Africa programme is to develop pan-African, satellite-enhanced, sustainable eHealth services for the benefit of the sub-Saharan Africa region and for its citizens and health workers.

The programme is split in two phases. The first phase consists of four in-depth horizontal studies (governance, regulatory aspects, interoperability and sustainability), addressing critical success factors and setting solid foundations for the development of sustainable eHealth and telemedicine services across sub-Saharan Africa.

In the second phase, upon completion of the four feasibility studies, up to 16 opportunities shall be selected and realised through demonstration projects, in different regions of sub-Saharan Africa, in the four eHealth thematic areas of the programme: eCare, eLearning, eSurveillance and eAdministration/eGovernance.

It is envisioned that these fertilisation projects will be able to transition from smaller scale, donor-implemented projects to larger scale, economically sustainable eHealth services owned, operated, and maintained by African stakeholders.

The programme is co-funded by the EU–Africa Infrastructure Trust Fund and the Government of Luxembourg and it is implemented by the European Space Agency via a delegation agreement from LuxDev.
