Digitalisation of healthcare offers tremendous potential that includes better access for patients but also improved data collection, monitoring of public health, and research. Robust digital infrastructure and interoperable systems are key factors. Health Access International is focussed on the integration of a digital, remote, healthcare component into the operations of medical services providers with an emphasis on the primary care level.
