His Excellency Peter M. Boehm, The Ambassador of Canada in Germany, sent a Letter of Endorsement and mentioned that Canada is proud to be the Partner Country at the Global E-Health Forum in Hamburg.

"Transforming Healthcare in Canada through EHealth, the challenges facing the health system in Canada and the role of information and information technology within a reformed health system" will be a topic presented and discussed with international experts.

His Excellency Peter M. Boehm states: "Developing successful e-health solutions requires combining knowledge and technology in several key areas, including: enabling electronic communications infrastructure; providing remote communities in Canada with access to clinical and non-clinical healthcare professionals through the use of advanced information communications technologies; improving health information systems to support service delivery including virtual health libraries; and upholding the health privacy of patients through high standards of information management and exchange."
