HOW WE STARTED?
In 2023, MWIKA and KCMC collaborated on a project at St. Joseph Hospital with the primary goal of establishing a secure connection between St. Joseph and KCMC.
This connection facilitates the secure exchange of medical information, thereby enhancing the efficiency and accessibility of healthcare in Moshi.
Furthermore, MWIKA deployed hardware to expand and improve the network infrastructure at St. Joseph Hospital. MWIKA is working with St. Joseph to further improve the ICT infrastructure.
