E-Health policy can be defined as "a set of statements, directives, regulations, laws, and judicial interpretations that direct and manage the life cycle of e-Health". Recognition is filling in both developed and developing countries that e-Health is a significant apparatus to reduce separation based on absence of access to data and to provide timely responses to matters affecting both personal and local area health.
However, the use of e-Health inside or between organizations involves several elements that require proper arranging, supported by welldefined policies, rules, standards, or guidelines at the institutional, jurisdictional, and worldwide levels.
The absence of these policies may cause problems during the cycle of e-Health arranging that may lead to failures in achieving the intended objectives. As a result, there could be inadvertent widening of holes in health status and knowledge levels between different sectors of the populace, and increasing rather than decreasing health inequity, likewise termed the advanced divide.
Experience from the developed world shows that the most well-known barriers to successful e-Health arranging include absence of data on the role of e-Health in the arrangement of health care, absence of operational and backing policies, absence of demonstrated expense effectiveness, and absence of clinical proponents.

A blend of policies at different levels when developing e- Health policies was provided. Numerous strategies suggest that the development of supportive policies ought to be essential for the e-Health strategies of countries and associations. These recommendations ought to, however, come from the user gatherings and managers of e-Health programs in each country. It is therefore critical to increase the awareness that health care providers, managers, and policy makers at all levels have of e- Health policy issues by giving them guidelines and backing to develop these policies.
