Business Daily Africa – Telemedicine plan for Kenya health sector

The roll out of telemedicine will go hand in hand with the implementation of Health Management Information System (HMIS), which is meant to interlink all government health facilities.

The government is working with the Aga Khan University Hospital to develop the system. The system will make it easy for the government to capture community healthcare data from the grassroots level.

This data will help in knowing what drugs to send to which places, hence improve the management of medicines. It will also enable healthcare workers to understand what measures to take in preventing certain diseases in specific areas.
