Health Information Technologies
Opportunities to Outsource to the Private
Sector
A JLP administration will develop an effective health information
network. This is in keeping with our belief that we must move
towards becoming a digital society. We will undertake the
digitization of hospital records, in order to safeguard patients’
medical information and allow easy access to them by authorized
person when needed, regardless of where the patient is entering
the system.
The divestment of various support services such as housekeeping,
laundry services, ground and building maintenance and catering,
will be pursued. Specialist services in hospitals such as the
laboratory facilities, ultra sound, radiotherapy and the radiology
unit, will also be divested.
