Background and Motivation
Health is a primary human right and It is defined as a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and just not the non existence of disease or ailment. According to the World Bank, 70% of the South Asian population and about 75% of South Asia's poor live in rural areas and most of they do not have enough medical facilities and knowledge about modern technologies. Although Sri Lanka’s literacy and computer literacy are higher than other developing countries. As well as many countries in the world invest huge amounts of money to development of their health and E learning sectors. However there are no e health e learning systems in Sri Lanka. So we are targeted to develop e health e learning system which fitting to needs of local community by low cost.
