The collaboration will see Samsung Electronics provide 2, 950 Samsung tablets to the Ghana Health Service through Good Neighbors Ghana. Receiving the equipment at a launch in Accra, the Director General of the Ghana Health Service Dr. Anthony Nsiah-Asare commended the partners for supporting the Ghana Health Service efforts to digitalize health information at the community level. Dr. Nsiah-Asare revealed that the donation of the equipment comes at a time that the Ghana Health Service under his leadership has resolved to tap into the world of ICT to drive the Ghana Health Service in order to provide excellent health service towards achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC). “The idea is for us to provide every CHPS zone across the entire country with at least two tablets-based e-Tracker devices for data capture and health information management. We need transactional data across board to make timely decisions affecting the health sector and health service delivery”, he said.
