> Daktari,
>
> The solution to this is readily available its called a smart card which if
> coupled with a cloud for storing our medical records would resolve this
> issue.
>
> There are a number of initiatives out here looking at such a solution but
> we
> need to create an enabling environment such as data privacy and data
> protection
> laws to allow medical personnel to access medical records especially in
> the
> situation where the patient is comatose.
>
> If the deceased had his medical records available online the doctors would
> have
> been able to tell whether he was allergy to any particular drugs and
> whether he
> was on any other medication.
>
> Can we open the presentation to all developers out here who have a product
> to
> show case?

> Robert,
> Research shows that many sudden deaths of seemingly healthy people are due
> to drug interaction.  In advanced countries the first question the doctor
> asks is whether you are have any allergies to any medication.
> Unfortunately, this does not happen here.
>
> Next week we shall be discussing with the MOH on the possibilities of
> starting a Digital Health Cloud Services.  Basically, we want to have all
> medical records on the cloud.  If for example you are taken ill at a
> conference in SA, you simply need your password and all of your medical
> records are aviled to the new doctor.
>
> The service will cut cost for Xray material and any paper based records.
> I saw a demo at the Samsung expo and I think we can easily make it here.
> It will save not only many lives but our environment. Imagine how mush we
> shall save for patients who for example go to India only to start tests
> all over again.
>
> The discussions as usual shall be open to all.  We are looking for the
> venue.
