Tiivistelmä
The thesis was written for academic purposes to fulfill the requirement of the bachelor’s degree course. The thesis aimed to address the ICT use in the health sectors of Zambia. The country is still struggling to implement reliable health care system to a better condition. Therefore, the whole country depends on only one medical institution for complicated health cases.
The health care system in Zambia lacks new technology, hence in this thesis work I tried to identify some of the solutions that the health sector can take in order to improve the delivery of reliable and good practice of health care delivery.
According to the findings during my research, I learnt that improving the communication greatly helps to sensitize the people about disease outbreaks like Cholera, measles which have been a concern in the past years. Improved communication can also help medical personnel to have access to quick remedies. By having good communication with other members of the medical and health communities, good communication and information dissemination, the public can find support from other people in similar situations, and affect or reinforce attitudes. In today’s world it is important to learn from what other countries are doing to tackle similar situations. This in turn can help prevent or tackle the problem when it occurs.
There are many ways through which health care problems could dealt with, improving the health care systems of Zambia can done through many other aspects, improving communication is simply one aspect that can be used. I have only dealt with the issue of communication in my thesis work as one of the ways that could help improve the health care system through improved communication among the health care entities.
