Abstract:
Health care systems face many challenges both in developed and developing countries like Kenya. EHealth, which is the application of ICT, has turned out to be a remedy for most of these problems. In this paper, the researcher looked at what E-health is and why EHealth in Kenya has trailed behind compared to other industries like banking and the education sector. The study was guided by Actor Network Theory (ANT). The researcher used literature review as a methodology for the study. The key EHealth solutions that have been adopted and implemented in Kenya were identified and the status of e-health in Kenya was also identified. The study also looked at the environment provided by Kenya for e-health. Some of the policies put in place for e-health implementation and challenges facing e-health in Kenya were also highlighted. And it was found out that EHealth is still at the infancy stage in the country
