abstract: We report the experience gained in an e-Health project in
the Gauteng province, in South Africa. A Proof-of-Concept of the project has been already installed in 3 clinics in the Sebokeng township. The project is now going to be applied to 300 clinics in the whole province. This extension of the Proof-of-Concept can however give rise to security 
aws because of the inclusion of rural areas with unreliable Internet connection. We address this problem and propose a safe solution.
