The Government has committed to enhancing digital health solutions to ensure improved and integrated healthcare services for all Zimbabweans.

Through the Ministry of Health and Child Care, the Government is rolling out Impilo, an Electronic Health Records (EHR) system, which is meant to improve efficiency in the health sector through enhancing data collection, management, patients’ care as well as improve communication between health practitioners and patients.

Speaking during a digital health indaba held in Harare on Thursday, Health and Child Care Secretary Dr Aspect Maunganidze said Zimbabwe should be able to achieve better equitable access and improve health outcomes through digital solutions.

“As we gather here, we are reminded that the success of our digital health initiative is on collaboration,” he said.

“Together, combined with the efforts of our Government, funding partners, and all stakeholders in the digital health space, we should be able to scale up on electronic health record system and the introduction of the individual health ID.”
