Design of an Architectural Framework for the Implementation of eHealth in Mauritius Sudha Cheerkoot-Jalim and Kanishka Gopal Abstract In Mauritius, people are becoming more and more health conscious, and as a result, their expectations from the health services are rising, thus compelling the government to re-think its health strategy. Taking into consideration the fact that the government’s endeavour is to computerise the health services, this study proposes an architectural framework for the eHealth system in Mauritius. Different architectural approaches were studied, and an eHealth architecture for Mauritius has been proposed. A prototype of the patient management module was implemented to test and evaluate the proposed eHealth architecture. The prototype was thoroughly tested, and it has shown to be working smoothly on the proposed architecture. The result of this work can now be used by the Ministry of Health and Quality of Life as a foundation in embarking on the eHealth strategy of the government as part of its vision to computerise the health sector.

Their adoption has now become a precondition for dynamic financial growth and future sustainability. At the government level, the objective today is to make maximum use of ICT in the delivery of services so as to achieve more efficiency and, thus meeting, to a better extent, the aspirations of the population.
