Developing technological solutions in healthcare is crucial for enhancing efficiency, improving patient outcomes, and promoting accessibility, thereby standardizing and advancing healthcare globally.
This was the rallying call during a College Hall Meeting organised by JKUAT’s College of Health Sciences in collaboration with Palladium and Health Workforce Training & Research Kenya (Hetark). Serving as the launch pad, the event galvanized JKUAT students across its five colleges to incubate and develop solutions aimed at revolutionizing healthcare services in Kenya.
Head of Digital Health, Informatics Policy, and Research at the Ministry of Health, Dr. Joyce Wamicwe, encouraged students to think critically and pitch their ideas, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and problem-solving.
Dr. Wamicwe also underscored the significance of facilitating the transition from paper-based to electronic health records systems, a transition facilitated by Palladium.
