Health digitization is on track, says Principal Secretary for the State Department for Medical Services, Mr. Harry Kimtai. The PS made the remarks during the opening of the Africa eHealth Leaders Forum, a crucial platform for advancing digital health across the continent.
The forum underscores a collective commitment to leadership and governance, emphasizing foundational pillars essential for driving digital health forward in Africa.
Mr. Kimtai highlighted the government's achievements and dedication to digital health transformation through the Digital Health Act 2023, which established the Digital Health Agency and the Kenya Digital Health Superhighway.
These initiatives leverage technology to accelerate Kenya's progress toward universal health coverage. Kenya has made significant strides in implementing the digital health superhighway, with key solutions currently 70% complete.
