title: [Information and communication technologies in health institutions: the inevitable encounter].
abstract: It is widely known that the health sector is a complex area within the socio-political context of a country, and we all, as citizens, have something to say about this topic. In a way, our health depends partly on the correct use of Information and Communication Technologies. This work seeks to introduce and promote the impact of information technologies on health organisations, leading them to feel the need to update their procedures, equipment and applications. This scientific article should allow the reader to understand the importance of technological innovations and the provision of technical support in improving the quality of health.
