Information platforms of Kazakh healthcare to be integrated into one system

Almost 50 information platforms of Kazakh healthcare will be integrated into the E-Health system. Kazakh Deputy Health Minister Zhandos Burkitbayev spoke about innovations in digitalization in medicine at a meeting with members of the Mazhilis, the Lower House of the Kazakh Parliament today. The unified system will be fully operational next year. This will facilitate the work of doctors and will help patients receive all services on the principle of one window. The platform will collect general data, starting from the place of attachment of patients, ending with information about their test results. The Deputy Minister noted that the sector is on the way to great changes today. These are innovative technologies, electronic documentation and, as a result, cost savings. Experts are currently working to legislate the rules for the development of digital healthcare. Today regulations governing the field of telehealth, the provision of remote medical services, telemedicine and mobile technologies are under development.
