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.

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. Rigia On Thu, Sep 15, 2011 at 9:42 AM, S.M. Muraya <murigi.muraya@gmail.com>wrote:

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)?

I would say electricity first for stuff like IV tubes, and surgical supplies with intent to upgrade to solar, which could also help run ICT systems. wmb On Thu, Sep 15, 2011 at 11:59 AM, S.M. Muraya <murigi.muraya@gmail.com>wrote:
