• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am aware that they even have drones that drop medicine to the required locations in the remote areas. This system is called e-health Rwanda. If a country as young and vibrant as Rwanda can have an e-health system where you diagnose a disease in one remote location, are able to see where the medication is within the system; use technology to liaise and talk to the referral hospital and to drop the medicine, why can we not? I am told they are able to drop medicine within 30 minutes of ordering by using a drone. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Our economy is at Kshs3 trillion. We have purposed to have Kshs3 trillion for the budget of this country. Surely, this country can do better than that. We can set up telecommunication centres in our counties and through those communication centres, we will be able to liaise within the health system and do referrals through that platform. We can also do consultation through telecommunication. People can send text messages and communicate on the status of any health issue in this country. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, this is what we have in Rwanda and it is working. They have developed what they are calling e-health Rwanda, which as we talk now, has done wonders in terms of service delivery in health matters. The context is that health information and technology in Rwanda is a quickly growing industry with many stakeholders. The national Government, several NGOs and private sectors have come in to ensure that it works and is a success. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Out of that product called e-health Rwanda, Rwanda has been able to set up six health technologies that are being implemented in the country. The package of systems aims to respond to the health care needs of the population and to improve management of the health system so as to gain productivity. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: They have something called track net which is monthly monitoring of infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDs, Tuberculosis and Malaria. They have a product which is monitoring the kind of diseases that we have and deals with them. They have another product called Kaberwa, a drug and medical supply management system handled by the National Pharmaceutical Company. This one is about medicine, how it is supplied, where the relevant medicine is, where the shortage and surplus are. They are able to deliver in time. This would even help us in Kenya. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, you know we have had cases of medicine expiring. Through this system, we could be able to track and supply the medicine before it expires. If it expires, we should be able to track and remove it out of the market. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: They also have something Open Medical Records System (OMRC) that tracks patients’ level data. You are even able to track your patient and see how they are coping with whatever issues they have. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: They also have the telemedicine where ICT is used to deliver health services and health care information and education to geographically separated parties. This is where health care professionals diagnose and treat patients in multiple locations by means of telecommunication technology. What a beautiful idea if only we could be able to use such a product like the telemedicine or e-medicine where you are able to communicate through our different networks and be able to diagnose a patient not necessarily before you, but be able to communicate, diagnose and give a prescription. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the intention of this Motion is to have our county hospitals communicate with our referral hospitals, and remote areas where network can be reached and be able to do diagnosis, give e-medicine and a prescription even when the patient is not before you. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: In the Republic of Rwanda, they have a health management information system which is what now our Ministry of Health should be able to implement. I have heard that there is a move to this direction. This will help to roll out the Universal Health Care (UHC) that we have been talking about and we will be happy as a country. view
