Abstract: The development of new services is amongst the most challenging technological issues currently faced by Telecommunication companies (Telcos). Next Generation Networks (NGNs) handling voice, data and video communications offer a unique opportunity for the creation of new forms of healthcare access, delivery and administration in a new, global networkcentric system consisting of fully interoperable, collaborative of multidomain elements necessary for the efficient conduct of worldwide healthcare operations. This paper expands previous studies and research and provides full definition of the Worldwide Healthcare Information Grid (WHIG) architecture proposed to realise through the functionalities offered by the currently deployed NGNs.
