[Skunkworks] Silos – the achilles’ heel of healthcare innovation in Kenya

Access to quality and affordable healthcare, I believe is a universal right and the achieving of highest possible service penetration should be high on the agenda of government and other complimentary agencies. The government has started on its part with the implementation of the KNH ICT master-plan, but one that will in my opinion take more than two political terms to get implemented in totality. This means that the task of transitioning to smarter health care lies in the hands of the private sector and other ecosystem players in the short to medium term while still aligned to the masterplan vision, whose implementation I hope will be based on open standards to allow third parties play well - http://bit.ly/1rw4BEt
