Good evening,

Health Policy is national but implementation of Health Services is devolved

And isn't health supposed to be a devolved function?

Listers,

 

It would be interesting for us to understand this project. In light of the fact that we have NOFBI in place what are the components of this project? i also think the project requires a data protection framework since it will be dealing with Health information which is really personal. My question is has the ministry of ICT or ICTA been involved in any way to shed some light on the project.

 

I don't think this kind of project should  just be left to the Ministry of Health, no wonder based on the article  the contractor is facing many challenges that should have been taken care of during the System Analysis and Design process.

 

My two cents

Listers, 

Trending story that raises among other questions:  health data without data protection laws;  the status and utility of NOFBI and of course, public spending.

A local IT firm is on the spot over delayed implementation of the country’s Healthcare Information Technology system, 10 months after it was awarded the contract at a cost of Sh4.7billion.

Seven Seas Technologies is unable to explain their inability to complete a multi-billion shilling project that sought to centralise data centre at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) to senior officials at the Ministry of Health.

Senior ministry officials have downplayed the matter, although medics at the radiology department decry work inefficiencies occasioned by system installation delays.
