Health and education are two main areas where ICTs can support economic development of LMICs. The main barriers hampering the use of ICTs in LMICs are the lack of infrastructures, affordability, lack of political support and human capital.

The absence of adequate sustainability, an excessive technological approach and insufficient capacity building are the major factors responsible for the failure of ICT projects in LMICs.

The strategy of many projects in the area of ICT for development fail to take into account key context variables.

The main benefits of e-health technologies in LMICs were their ability to facilitate access to health information, health services, and training for health personnel.
