A National Health Record is a system to fundamentally transform a nation’s healthcare landscape. Once a National Health Record is in place, true digitalization can happen in all medical fields where patient-doctor interaction happens.
A centralized national health record system serves as the foundation for a country’s entire electronic healthcare ecosystem. It integrates data from different healthcare providers to create a unified health record for each patient and enables doctors to provide better care thanks to instant access to their patients’ correct information.
