This paper examines the modern role of information and communication technology (ICT) in healthcare, which has revolutionized patient care, data management, and service delivery. While ICT was initially used solely for administrative purposes, it is now broadly defined to include a range of information and communication technologies such as electronic health records (EHR), telemedicine and analytics that improve operational Efficiency, patient access, and quality of care. The ability to innovate, such as AI, cloud computing, provides real-time data access that helps healthcare professionals make better decisions and also improves patient outcomes. In particular, the paper showcases the government’s initiative to create an integrated digital health system. The study highlights the need for strategic implementation of ICT to optimize health outcomes and availability and access to services, particularly in resource-poor settings.
