The Sri Lankan government plans to digitalize the entire government hospital system in a short period to deliver more efficient and high-quality healthcare services.

Health and Mass Media Minister Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa stated that the goal is to create a welcoming and accessible hospital environment while ensuring top-tier medical care.

He made these comments at the launch of the Health Information Technology System at the Lady Ridgeway Hospital for Children in Colombo, alongside the upgrade of the Histopathology Laboratory.

The government also aims to digitize the entire public service to enhance convenience and efficiency for citizens.

Dr. Jayatissa emphasized the importance of leveraging technology to manage data for over 150,000 healthcare workers.

Plans are underway to develop integrated digital health records and improve the drug supply system using digital tools.
