Abstract

In their obligatory route towards digital economy, developing countries face challenges of automating their processes, as stakeholders’ information in each economic sector, and among different sectors, are not fully connected, depriving themselves a lot of benefits and feasible results. The health sector of developing countries can benefit a lot from integrating its information digitally using ICT, yet the forecasted challenges differ from a country to another, also among peers of the same society. The challenges facing Lebanon and Belarus regarding integrating the healthcare data using ICT, as part of developing into digital economy, have many things in common yet a lot of differences.
