Projects
Supporting nationally significant digital health projects
We support the Ministry of Health to deliver digital health projects as a liaison between the Ministry, Primary Health Organisations and software vendors.
This can be a challenging role, as there are many parts of the puzzle to analyse and connect. But we are fortunate that we can rely on our in-house expertise and strong relationships with stakeholders and vendors to get the job done. Find out more about some of the projects we have worked on below.
