Boosting health-care digitalization in Kyrgyzstan, a European Union and WHO collaboration The introduction of this digital solution is supported by a European Union project with the overall aim of modernizing central Asia's health information systems. iEmdoo is a critical component of the digital health ecosystem and is being enhanced within the framework of the Sanarip MED Target Model for the Development of Digital Health Care. As noted by the Deputy Minister of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic, Mr Bakyt Dzhangaziev, data on the vaccination of children are available to parents through a mobile application, which more actively involves parents in the health care of their children. https://lnkd.in/eUhd3WnG #PublicHealth #Europe #StayInformed #StayEmpowered

This week was the Digital Health Week. A week full of great collaboration and insights from the Organizations, but most importantly from the individuals who make Digital Health possible in the world and in particular in Africa and, it’s Africa is where some of the most important conferences took place, specifically in #Kenya (a country that love so much, and respectfully call Nyumbani). Unfortunately I couldn’t attend any of this events but in the background, as good Helthneer, I continued pushing for the advance of Digital Health in Africa and the world. Let’s continue building accessible tools and improving care. #DigitalHealth #ImprovingPeoplesLives #ucsf
