Description:

HealthNet Uganda is pioneering the use of Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) in the African healthcare sector to provide practitioners with real-time access to vital information. The technology also allows for easier consultation, real-time ordering of medicines, and access to medical journals - all of which improves the quality of Uganda's health care system. HealthNet Uganda's leadership and strategic planning have allowed it to successfully transition from a grant-funded project to a stand-alone non-profit organization, in part due to its ability to secure support from the Ugandan government. By introducing cutting-edge technology within an innovative business model, HealthNet Uganda is successfully working to improve the health of millions of citizens.
