Abstract
Technologies with the ability to send information in a fast, efficient and cheap fashion--such as the Internet-can provide dramatic improvements in access to information, advice and care. This article explores the strengths and weaknesses of Internet to augment traditional health services and supply new ones. In doing so, it presents concrete cases in the developing world, with reference to Nepal, where Internet is being used for health-related activities--ranging from patient/doctor consultation through database services, to the management of epidemics.
