, involving health centers and clinics, a medical official said here Sunday.
The ministry is keen on introducing information technology to all health utilities in the country, Dr. Walid Al-Falah, assistant undersecretary of the ministry for planning and quality control, told reporters.
"This technology is a key component of the Health Ministry's program purposed to revamp health services," he said while inspecting a health information system and e-file project at the Amiri Hospital.
For his part, the ministry's information system section chief, Salah Baqer, extolled the uniform e-file system as a strategic goal for the ministry to notch up.
Preparations are in full swing at the ministry for setting up an advanced center to be equipped with state-of-the-art technology, inventing a fresh website for the ministry and introducing the e-file system to all clinics and laboratories, he added.
