Professionals in both regions have a positive attitude towards the use of e-health as a supportive tool.
Technology is seen as way of reducing administrative burden and improving information exchange.
Professionals expressed concerns about technology as a substitute for face-to-face contact.
Training on ICT and change management procedures should accompany e-health initiatives.
