    In Africa, as in most other regions throughout the world, it is still standard practice for doctors
    and nurses to keep handwritten patient files. However, these files can easily become lost and, if
    patient data has to be transferred from one medical institution to another, the files can take a long
    time to arrive.

    eLearning Africa  presented solutions to this problem. In Tanzania, for example, health workers
    are using “digital pens”. The pens automatically convert doctors’ or nurses’ handwritten notes
    into digital files, which are easier to share and archive. They also take up less space.

    According to Pauline Kimollo from the Christian Social Services Commission (CSSC), applying
    these technologies helps to reduce the time spent at dispensaries or health centres while also
    preventing the theft of receipts and medicines.
