The Jomvu Model Hospital is expected to complete the process of digitasing patients records in the next two weeks.

The new electronic medical records management system an initiative of the national government is expected to usher in a new era in the hospital through coordination with the Mombasa county government.

Speaking during a tour of the facility, Jomvu Mp Bwadi Twalib noted that the new system is expected to significantly improve operations at the facility where services will now be paperless.

"This new system will make work easier for our health workers in the facility and also improve service delivery. We will not be seeing patients queueing with books, they will just be walking present themselves to the staff and all their details will be available with just a click of a button" said Badi.

Adding " These are the kind of things that we need for our people, they are already facing several problems so we should not create more problems to them but solutions".

Badi said doctors at the facility will have an easier time getting patients history while patients will be saved the agony of retaking medical examinations due to loss of personal files.

The Mp also revealed that the county government has been able revive several health centres in the constituency including the Jomvu Kuu and Mungusi health centres.

Badi noted "I would like to commend the county government for their efforts and work towards improving our health centres. I also call upon other well wishers and stakeholders to come out nd help us improve our facilities to ensure our people get good services."

Shikely also noted that specialised doctors will now be visiting different facilities in the county to handle cases that need referrals instead of sending the patients to the major hospitals.

''Through this system, It will now be easier for our health workers in this facilities to consult with doctors from our major hospitals and treat a patient. We also be rolling this system to other facilities so that they can all be integrated" said Shikely

 Adding "We now want to ensure that specialised doctors visit these health centres at least twice a week and avoid taking patients to those hospital. We want to bring services to the grassroots."
