Making KNH the centre of the data store does not make sense. Health records are part of a person's personal information and it should be stored together. It would be easier for the owner to control it. Where should citizen information be kept?<u></u><u></u></p>

<span style="background:white">NINAFUU county node</span>. This would be in line with the current DHIS system the Ministry of Health uses. We needed however was a system that would allow citizen/patient information to be exchanged on request from a particular

Aside from the data center hardware issue, you are right that the regulations are indeed very important. There needs to be clarity on who owns, controls, accesses, gives permission and uses what data and in what circumstances and for what purpose.. from the
patients to local doctors to remote doctors to IT support staff to medical equipment management staff and beyond. I fully agree.<br>

Don't lose my point. It is super important. Under what law or regulation are we going to move around sensitive health data? This country needs to do a refresh and reboot and stop Procurement Driven tenders.<br>

Hi Ali<br>
<br>
I'm not sure I can comment on the data centre specifically, but I believe the project is much more than that. It is about the medical records software, servers and connectivity at the 98 hospitals so they can send radiology images to be viewed remotely (at
KNH). The data centre at KNH would be to store images there and provide remote diagnosis.<br>
