Jyoti Ball, Amazon Web Services general manager for Sub-Saharan Africa, speaks on the deployment of cloud infrastructure supporting Kenya's electronic medical records system.
Thousands of Kenyan health facilities can now access patient records faster and keep sensitive health data within the country after a global development and management consulting firm deployed cloud infrastructure to support the national electronic medical records system.
The deployment by Palladium using Amazon Web Services (AWS) Outposts allows Kenya's health sector to run cloud-based services on infrastructure physically located in Kenya, addressing concerns over data residency, system performance and access to patient information in areas with unstable internet connectivity.
The system supports Kenya Electronic Medical Records (KenyaEMR), which operates in more than 2,300 health facilities and manages chronic disease records nationwide.
