RSVP now to join the next Technology Salon
September 29th Accra Salon – RSVP
The advancement and availability of new digital technology tools have transformed many aspects of the society including the health sector. These changes are reflected in the way healthcare delivery services are offered around the globe.
In Ghana, the role of new digital technology tools in the health sector are now gaining roots with the emergence of mobile health systems, electronic data management and electronic healthcare medicine in some major hospitals. However, the majority of clinics depend on manual ways for data collection and other healthcare administration. This has made healthcare delivery in Ghana strenuous, expensive and inaccessible to most people especially the poor.
Currently some patients keep their hospital folders at home because the hospitals do not have space to store them. What becomes of their medical records if these folders get missing or destroyed? ICT can transform the health sector by employing the use of a central database or a cloud service that will house all the records of patients.
Please RSVP now to join the next Technology Salon Accra where we will explore questions like
-Ernest Gavor, Moja App Developer
-Samuel Quarshie, head of ICT, Ghana Health Service (GHS) and an expert in eHealth
-Harriet Nottinson, representative from Ghana Coalition of Ngo’s in health
Please RSVP now to join them and your esteemed peers at the next Technology Salon Accra. We’ll have hot coffee and catered breakfast treat for a morning rush. Seating however, is limited. Once we reach our 35-person capacity, there will be a waiting list!
