The Hospital Information System
Smart Planning for Better Care
At the Centre Médical Dr. Gnipieven Tekombo Foundation, our commitment to quality healthcare begins long before the first patient walks through the door. From the planning stage, we are focused on making the best possible decisions to meet each person’s individual needs — and digital innovation is at the heart of this approach.
A New Digital Era for Healthcare in Cameroon
In partnership with a Cameroonian start-up, the Foundation has developed a state-of-the-art Hospital Information System (HIS) — a digital management platform designed specifically for our medical center. This pioneering system has already transformed how we:
Streamline Hospital Processes – making administration more transparent and efficient.
Support Medical Staff – enabling quicker and more accurate diagnoses.
Collect & Analyze Health Data – providing reliable statistics on diseases and treatments to guide preventive work.
Rare Innovation in Cameroon
Such integrated digital systems remain rare in Africa, and especially in Cameroon. By introducing an HIS at our facility, we have set a new standard for modern healthcare delivery — one that improves patient outcomes, reduces errors, and enhances operational efficiency.
Better Care, Lower Costs
With accurate diagnostics and optimized workflows, patients are now treated more effectively and efficiently, reducing the risk of misdiagnoses and treatment errors. The center initially focused on outpatient treatments, ensuring people could access appropriate medical care quickly and affordably. This approach has helped limit long inpatient stays, which are often costly for both hospitals and patients.
A System That Works for Everyone
The Hospital Information System now assists our medical staff and enables the Foundation to monitor, optimize, and control medical treatments. This has led to higher-quality care, better prevention strategies, and lower costs overall — a major step forward in transforming healthcare delivery in Cameroon.
