The III International Workshop on e-Health in Emerging Economies, o or IWEEE, is a bi-annual non-profit congress held in Canary Islands, Spain and in Brazil, organised and hosted by GNU Solidario. Because of their geographical location, the Canary Islands links Africa, Europe and the Americas, while Brazil concentrates on the Latin America reality. This year's spring workshop will take place in Luxembourg, with the kind support of Medetel.
The slogan for this event is "Momentum", representing the rate of countries and organisations that are embracing free software to cover the educational and health needs of the population.
IWEEE is a success: Upon attending the II IWEEE Workshop in 2010, Paraguay initiated the Project Ñamo Pyahu, the migration of their health records to free software. This move represents the declared objective of the IWEEE Workshop and reflects the mission of GNU Solidario, i.e. to provide health and education to the ones who need it most.
