dc.description.abstractThis dissertation explores the various legal and ethical difficulties faced by health practitioners and patients alike in the application and practice of ehealth. These include informed consent, the relationship between the doctor and patient, accuracy of online content, confidentiality, privacy, data security and licensure. The existing and proposed legislation in place in South Africa and internationally to potentially address these issues is discussed. The broader question that is posed is whether greater e-health regulation is required in a developing country such as South Africa and if so what the regulations should address.en_ZA
