My source: HIFA2015 Healthcare Information for All by 2015 (edited)

Dear All,

Just read through this article after I received it from the PAHO EQUIDAD listserve.

I have forwarded it to this group with the hope that some of my colleagues here that are interested in ehealth can access it.
It is worth reading...please see the link to the article by Trisha Greenhalgh et al below.

Wittgensteinian Reflections on Policymakers' Reluctance to Learn from History

This article is an excellent addition to the literature. It combines three of my passions reflected here on W2tQ - informatics, health and philosophy.
Many thanks to Francis Ohanyido and the HIFA2015 list.
