The Dominican Republic is concerned with covering the needs of its entire population through the advantages offered by Digital Health and its new Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
Aiming to complement the new Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) with medical science and Digital Health, the Latin American Congress of Digital Health was held within the Dominican Republic.
The meeting focused on how to implement integrated systems with specialized software to make applications that allow, for example, having medical consultations at a distance and in real time; as well as recording clinical information electronically for its later exchange and use it in any health center.
In this way, they expect to contribute knowledge and techniques to the Dominican public health service, thus strengthen its methods in a universal coverage that aims to reduce the access gap and can reach all people without exception.
Through dialogue and exchange of experiences, a development that allows the incorporation of enough infrastructure to achieve an ecosystem connected hand in hand with the Ministry of Health was planned on order to “open the doors for the country to face the challenges and opportunities that digital transformation brings to health ”.
With these actions, Latin America is positioned among the pillars of innovation that Digital Health brings to empower the patients and make them an active part of all treatment and, in this way, be the protagonists, monitoring and making decisions about their own life condition.
