IWEEE 2011 Brazil: Momentum
IV International Workshop
on e-Health in Emerging Economies
Foz do Iguaçu
October 19-21, 2011




Welcome !

The International Workshop on e-Health in Emerging Economies - IWEEE - is a biannual meeting held in Canary Islands, Spain and in Brazil.

Because of their geographical locations, Canary Islands links Africa, Europe and the Americas, while Brazil concentrates on the Latin America reality.

It has become a "healthy tradition". Latinoware, for the third time consecutive, will host the 4th IWEEE workshop in Brazil.

I am honoured and grateful to our Brazilian friends for their continous support to Free Software and IWEEE !

This year slogan is "Momentum", representing the rate of countries and organizations that are embracing Free Software to cover the educational and health needs of the population.

IWEEE is a success.The United Nations University IIGH is now an active member of the GNU Health community, and Paraguay started the migration to Free Software their health regional regions ( Project Ñamo Pyahu ) after attending IWEEE workshops.




This is our mission at GNU Solidario : Health and Education with Free Software

Some of the topics to bring up front are :

  • Free software in the health sector
  • Current efforts and role of government on e-Health
  • e-Health on rural areas



    IWEEE is not a pure technical conference. It will focus on the human factor and in raising awareness about the actual situation. We will discuss the tools that we can provide today to doctors and institutions to improve their habitants health and education.


    The workshop promotes Free Software as one of the main pillars for a sustainable framework for providing e-health and education for the developing and least developed countries.

    IWEEE 2011 Brazil will be held during Latinoware in Itaipu. Latinoware 2011 will present the main novelties and matters of importance in the world of open source software for Latin America.So, during these two days you will have the opportunity to go to both events, and get the latest about Free Software.

    There will not be parallel conferences. All delegates will be able to assist and participate in the workshops that they find of interest. Communication among delegates is key.

    IWEEE is a non-profit event organized by the GNU SOLIDARIO association


    I hope you find this event as motivating and inspiring as I do and I'm looking forward to seeing you in Foz do Iguazu.
