In this article, we examine the progress of e-health in the five leading economies of East Asia: Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan. Against the dual backdrop of sophisticated IT societies that make extensive use of the Internet and cost-effective healthcare systems driven in variable ways by actors from the public and private sectors, we now turn to a survey of e-health in the East Asian tigers. Throughout the region, the major quasi-autonomous state agencies, such as the national health insurance agencies in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, the HKHA in Hong Kong and the two big healthcare clusters in Singapore, also have sites. Over the next 5 years, the HKHA is planning to create a Hong Kong Health Information Infrastructure, with the aim of networking all healthcare providers in the public, private and social welfare sectors.	./cache/cord-293403-o1i999hy.txt	./txt/cord-293403-o1i999hy.txt
