The Renaissance University Hospital Center in Kinshasa recently benefited from a batch of digital equipment offered by the National Agency for Clinical Engineering and Digital Health (ANICNS). This initiative aims to establish a digitalized work environment by providing the institution with 20 computers, 20 tablets and 5 routers. This equipment, financed by the Congolese government, allows the installation of 40 digitalized workstations to improve the management of health data.
The Director General of ANICNS, Mr. Jean Thierry Kalombo, stressed the importance of this equipment in improving the quality of health data, particularly in the context of Universal Health Coverage (CSU), free maternity and the management of newborn care. He also highlighted the deployment of a Hospital Information System approved by ANICNS to facilitate the work of caregivers, improve the quality of health data and promote the portability of computerized patient records.
ANICNS, as a public institution dedicated to the digital transformation of the health system in the Democratic Republic of Congo, plays a crucial role in the implementation of digital solutions to strengthen universal health coverage. Its mission includes the coordination of digital systems related to UHC, supporting health structures in their digital transformation and promoting research in digital health.
This initiative marks a significant step forward in the health sector in the DRC, demonstrating the government’s commitment to modernizing medical infrastructure and practices. The digitalization of care processes will contribute to better data management, improved health services and optimized patient care.
In short, the introduction of this digital equipment at the Renaissance University Hospital Center represents an important step towards the modernization and efficiency of the Congolese health system, with the ultimate goal of providing quality care that is accessible to all.
