Yes, all interesting topics. Now if we can just get basic health equipment into the clinics . . . .

One more issue you could research (in future).. 

About: Health clinics without electricity especially in rural areas..

Do they have (solar) computers / health equipment working at night?

How accessible are technicians to service equipment in out of the way places?

Can county governments / assemblies enable technicians to access out of the way health clinics via Central Government security services (police / military)?

Dear Muraya

Yes, KNH is a good example of ICT in health. I think in a rural area one working computer that actually functions would count.

Warigia,

Does the Kenyatta National Hospital fall in the category you are looking at?

Can you be more specific about what you mean  by ICT systems in place?

Some may be afraid of an IT audit.

A health facility with only one computer but no wi-fi or ethernet network may not feel confident, capable or obliged to speak about their IT system. This even though one computer storing health records and sending e-mails to the Ministry of Health does qualify as an IT system. Yes? No?

Not to forget, politics (fear of victimization) could keep you from getting a response.

Otherwise keep up the good work. Every issue we objectively talk about in a democratic society improves when it is brought to the light..

Dear colleagues

I have sent a formal message to the ICt Board, but could anyone with information on Kenyan Government sponsored health facilities using ICT write back to the list?

I am looking for any government sponsored public health facility in Kenya with ICT systems in place. In place right now. Not planned or suggested, or theorize.

many thanks.

Sincerely, Rigia
