This study assesses the role of ICTs in the rural healthcare in a resource-poor setting. Depicting the contextual realities of Bangladesh as a case example, this qualitative research exploits a livelihood approach and aims to contribute to the development informatics community literature. The key findings reveal that ICTs can play a very marginal role in access to health information due to the vulnerability and limited information resources of the poor. It also informs that most health related ICT initiatives are supply-driven and led by technological determinism which widens the gaps in the digital divide. The study suggests more emphasis on information than technology . It argues that soft issues gathered from the livelihoods of the poor may create an information systems plus atmosphere where plus will enable poor-focused healthcare reforms, business process reengineering and human resource development. The research concludes that for implementing e-health as digital strategy for non-digital people in Bangladesh, an integrated, visionary and demand-driven ICT approach is more crucial than plucking any low-ranging fruits.
