The Tunisian Ministry of Health is set to launch a national digital health portal, "Sahetna", which will enable citizens to track their medical history, view medical appointments, and manage their health files. Dr. Habiba Meizouni, a member of the digital hospital team at the Ministry of Health, announced the upcoming launch, stating that the portal is currently undergoing safety checks and will be activated gradually.
The "Sahetna" portal is a unified and secure digital platform that aims to improve healthcare services in Tunisia. It will allow citizens to easily access their medical information, including appointments and health files for themselves and their children. The portal is part of the country's efforts to digitize healthcare services and enhance the overall quality of care.
Dr. Meizouni highlighted the importance of digital services in the healthcare sector, citing the launch of telemedicine services as an example. She emphasized that the goal is to utilize technology while respecting all relevant standards. The digitization of healthcare services has made significant progress, with the digital hospital project covering the needs of regional hospitals in terms of medical imaging.
The medical imaging department of the digital hospital project covers all the needs of regional hospitals in terms of scanner and magnetic resonance imaging. Additionally, there are projects to detect breast cancer using modern technologies, as well as several other programs.
