Health Minister prioritises Digital Health

The health sector is in the process of establishing a digital platform to harness the digital health service and addressing the skills gap.

Minister for Health and HIV/AIDS, Dr Tom Lino says that the health sector faces many challenges and one such issue is not having enough skilled health workers in the country to provide vital health care to the population.

When addressing the ‘Public Health Authority CEOs’ and Board’ forum in Port Moresby recently, Dr Tom highlighted the current number of registered doctors’ attached to the Department of Health working in PNG.

“We have 640 doctors, with a ratio of one doctor to 20,000 people”.

“And as you all know, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended ratio is 1:1000, and we cannot reach that gap within the intermediate term,” Dr Tom said.

He said it usually takes at least 10 years to adequately train a health worker to fill such a gap.

One way of addressing this is by creating a digital platform where the health sector can utilize to fill this gap through the use of ICT.

“In my term in office, I am trying to put in place some reforms, where we want to make sure that the mandate of health is clearly vested on the National Health Department as per what the Health Administration Act says”.

Dr Tom said, “One of the things NDoH wants to deliver on is digital health care services to our people, one example of which is creating clear referral pathways for patients through the use of ICT.

In order to achieve the desired outcome, the National Health ICT Policy 2022 approved by National Health Board is now with NEC for endorsement.

Mr Osborne Liko, Secretary for Health said the National ICT Policy 2022 plans to establish a comprehensive framework for leveraging information and communication technology (ICT) to enhance the efficiency, accessibility, and quality of healthcare services across PNG.

The policy’s goals aim to ensure ICT services contribute to improving and strengthening governance and management visibility in the health sector’s service delivery.

The policy also seeks to ensure ICT services in the health sector are well aligned with core business requirements and comply with the Digital Government Act 2022 and best practices.

To ensure a successful implementation of this policy having a transformative impact on the healthcare landscape, improving patients outcome, improving costs and improving better coordination among healthcare providers, NDoH has established governance and coordination teams to reach out to Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and relevant stakeholders to complement National Health ICT Policy.

  7. Hey there! I’ve been reading your weblog for a long time now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from New Caney Tx! Just wanted to tell you keep up the good job!

  9. I’m extremely impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself? Either way keep up the excellent quality writing, it is rare to see a nice blog like this one these days..

  10. ProNerve 6 nerve relief formula stands out due to its advanced formula combining natural ingredients that have been specifically put together for the exceptional health advantages it offers.

  20. I see absolutely no point in using IPv6 for devices inside a local network, how many devices do you think you need to connect on a LAN to be able to run out of addresses? Why do you want your devices to be directly exposed to the outside world? IPv6 is all nice and dandy but I see it more useful only for devices that actually need to be exposed to the outside world From a security standpoint I prefer network segmentation, and besides that IPv4 is so much easier both to set up and to remember IPv6 exists and has its use cases, doesn’t mean that you should necessarily switch to it in any case, for a home LAN for example I don’t see any reason to do so

  40. It’s the best time to make some plans for the future and it is time to be happy. I’ve read this post and if I could I desire to suggest you few interesting things or suggestions. Perhaps you can write next articles referring to this article. I want to read even more things about it!
