US$5M Technical School to Drive National eHEALTH Rollout

Guyana is investing US$5 million in a technical school to support the rollout of its new electronic health records (eHEALTH) system. Training has already begun to prepare specialists for managing the platform, which is being piloted at the Festival City Polyclinic. UK-based RioMed Limited is installing the system under a US$3.3 million contract. Once nationwide, eHEALTH will store medical records digitally, improving efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility, while ensuring inclusivity and building a modern, resilient healthcare system.
