The ministry of health has made several strides in ensuring e-health becomes a priority through several partnerships with various stakeholders both nationally and internationally as it looks to fulfill its goals for 2020.

“The Internet helps us to track patient records as well as the Health Management Information Systems which provide aggregated health data easing the work of decision makers in the health sectorts,” said Edith Munyana head of the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) at the ministry.
