Robert, There are so many solutions but the trouble is each individual wants it in their own way even if it is not as comprehensive. From what I have seen, we could combine the innovations and come up with a much better solution. I will have several presenters and I hope most of the listers attend to see if we can create mergers. I have not decided on the date since MOH has not confirmed. They must attend for it to make sense and hopefully implement the solutions. Some of you have admonished me for letting out what could be a wonderful business idea. To be honest if we parked selfishness somewhere for six months, we shall achieve the vision 2030. There are several ideas hidden because people think others will benefit from the idea. Regards Ndemo.
Daktari,
The solution to this is readily available its called a smart card which if coupled with a cloud for storing our medical records would resolve this issue.
There are a number of initiatives out here looking at such a solution but we need to create an enabling environment such as data privacy and data protection laws to allow medical personnel to access medical records especially in the situation where the patient is comatose.
If the deceased had his medical records available online the doctors would have been able to tell whether he was allergy to any particular drugs and whether he was on any other medication.
Can we open the presentation to all developers out here who have a product to show case?

Robert, Research shows that many sudden deaths of seemingly healthy people are due to drug interaction. In advanced countries the first question the doctor asks is whether you are have any allergies to any medication. Unfortunately, this does not happen here.
Next week we shall be discussing with the MOH on the possibilities of starting a Digital Health Cloud Services. Basically, we want to have all medical records on the cloud. If for example you are taken ill at a conference in SA, you simply need your password and all of your medical records are aviled to the new doctor.
The service will cut cost for Xray material and any paper based records. I saw a demo at the Samsung expo and I think we can easily make it here. It will save not only many lives but our environment. Imagine how mush we shall save for patients who for example go to India only to start tests all over again.
The discussions as usual shall be open to all. We are looking for the venue.
Regards
Ndemo.

John, sorry to learn about ur cousin, my intuition about what you describe gives me a horrible feeling this may have been a case of adverse drug reaction. It is a pity postmortem is not mandatory in this country, as there would have been evidence of celebral malaria being the cause of death.
Notwithdstanding this, what IBM & co have done in enabling wanainchi acess malaria therapy na mpango wa 'comfort' through IT is positive.
