The Permanent Secretary,Ministry of Health-Dr.Diana Atwine on Monday afternoon met with the team from Integrated Intelligent Computer
System(IICS) that is implementing the automative intergrated Health Monitoring System (iHMIS).
The team, led by the Principal Investigator-Dr.Silver Kiyimba briefed Atwine on the progress of the system that has so far been installed in 10 Regional Refferal Hospitals and is set to automate 66 more health facilities this year.
The PS cautioned on low user-ability and adaptability by some of the Hospital administrators who she said, must adopt to digital change without fail.
“Solutions of our health system will be solved by a much needed smarter process, and therefore this system is not optional” she added after the IICS technical team had ably demonstrated which hospital teams had adopted to the digital usage.
Last week, 22 young scientists were sent
to the field to retrain hospital administrators and staff on effective usage of the system.
“Help me transform the sector. This is my dream; this is the dream of our
country, to have better services for all. We must therefore put a new performance target with evidence based tangible results”, she added.
Present at the meeting was the Director General-Ministry of Health,
Dr.Henry Mwebesa and other officials who joined in from the field on zoom.
