Review: These are the proceedings of the HealthGrid 2006 conference held in Valencia in June 2006. The 40 papers and submissions published here come from 14 countries and fall into five main topics: medical imaging on the grid (and virtual distributed storages); ethical, legal and privacy issues on HealthGrids (e.g. medical consent, technical solutions for privacy etc.); bioinformatics on the grid; knowledge discovery on HealthGrids (semantic integration of medical information); medical assessment and HealthGrid applications (results of the application of grid technologies to health, biomedical simulation and clinical environments etc.).
