E – Health

The project is aimed at using Information Communication Technologies (ICT) to improve access to healthcare, raise the quality and reduce cost of health care provision thereby endowing patients in rural communities. It is expected to be executed in alliance with the Ministry of Health and Primary Health/ Public Health Centres in rural, un-served and under-served communities. The project will be designed to provide access to real-time consultancy services between primary health centres/ facilities with regional referral hospitals and other existing secondary Public health centres. The target is to provide internet access between selected primary health centres and the secondary health centres across the country by 2024. This will be achieved by connecting remote, rural and under-served communities with referral centres, expert care and support training health care providers using ICT. It will also facilitate communications between primary health workers, specialists and patients for improved health care access in rural communities.
