The minister stressed that the government will continue to rely fully on the support of cooperating partners in a bid to actualise the ambitious five-year plan.
Ms. Masebo explained that the objective of the strategy is to reform digital health governance and develop digital workforce capabilities.
She said this when she officially opened the Digital Health Conference 2022 in Lusaka today.
And Ms. Masebo has said government is in a hurry to improve lives of people in remote areas.
Ms. Masebo said the desire of the government is to provide quality healthcare services to people in unserved areas.
She reiterated that the government has prioritised the digital transformation agenda in order to enhance healthcare service delivery to all citizens.
