In the context of this research work, the authors have studied the issues involved in the deployment of cloud computing, associates concerns and factors regarding adoption of cloud computing in e-Health and finally the future of cloud computing in e-Health. In order to identify and to get a deeper understanding of those issues, authors performed literature review, conducted one to one interview with associates both health care personnel and cloud computing) and finally backed up with a web-based survey from the associates for the validation of interview findings.
