The real test of technological development is to ensure whether it reaches people and the most important task is to produce, manage and deliver relevant information systems appropriately within India. Therefore technology needs to be acquired and adapted for it to be appropriately developed. A country like India needs to adapt and develop information systems based on their own needs and structures, using their own methods and practices. When it comes to e-Governance projects, better cooperation is the need of the day both from public as well as private players [1]. The Indian government is taking greater cognizance of the benefits of technology and some e-Gov projects have already been initiated and deployed in few states of our country [1]. However, despite an improved Information Communication Technology (ICT) in our country thanks to the efforts of our government, there are still problems which continue to hamper the use of information and ICT in domain of healthcare in India [2]. This paper discusses the current levels of IT and quality in health care in our country and how Information Technology (IT) might be helpful in future.
