The famous saying, "Arogya Parama Laaba" means that the health is wealth. A healthy population increases the productivity of a country by a great proportion. Therefore any country provides an effective health care system to their citizens. Some countries like Sri Lanka, provides free health care services at government hospitals. At present, e-Health is a leading topic in the ICT industry. It aims to deliver efficient health care services to the community. This new technology is commenced by the ICT and health care institutions. Now e-Health solution for health care institutions is available in worldwide. Unfortunately this solution is not available in Sri Lanka yet due to many reasons such as financial problems and social problems.
The aim of eArogya is to introduce these technologies for Sri Lankan hospitals with the least possible cost using existing opensource systems. First this system will be developed so that it can manage the tasks of Emergency Treatment Unit (ETU) at Colombo South Teaching Hospital and then it will be expanded for other departments and other hospitals as a ripple effect.
