Hewlett-Packard (HP) East Africa has delivered infrastructure including software, server racks and all-in-one thin clients to Strathmore University to help students develop web-based solutions assisting Kenyans in accessing quality healthcare.
The project is in partnership with the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), Strathmore University and Kenya’s Ministry of Health, targeted at providing faculty and students with technology to help design and deploy information systems to support public health delivery.
The developed web-based solutions are in turn deployed in hundreds of public health facilities in Kenya, and hosted at the Ministry of Health headquarters in a data centre location built and supported by HP.
“We believe that technology can accelerate innovation and research, enabling organizations to increase the positive impact on society,” said Paul Ellingstad, director of Human Progress Initiatives at HP.
“Our partnership with Strathmore University, CHAI and the Ministry of Health illustrates how collaboration among the right partners and the right technology creates more effective and more efficient solutions that improve access to quality healthcare and strengthen health systems. That’s what innovation is all about.”
