Digital Economy, Fidel Grant has announced that a new and improved government services website will be made live soon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He made the disclosure during a press briefing this week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis website will provide seamless access to the respective ministries including forms presently in hard copy that will be available online and the relevant payments can be made via government portal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grant also spoke on the implementation of the hospital management system which will be used to connect the hospital and the Health and Wellness Centres.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOnce the system is operational there will be connectivity across the country, so the Health and Wellness Centres and the hospital will be connected,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grant continued, \u201cA patient will be able to access his or her medical records anywhere in the country using a unique identification number.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, he explained that medical staff will be connected and can use the medium to get support from each other.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This he said will transform health services with the aim to make the sector more efficient and more effective.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTo put it simply, we will be moving away from what Dominicans call the doctor book into a more efficient system,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, Grant disclosed that recently the government secured funding from the World Bank in the amount of just over EC$76 million to support the implementation of Dominica\u2019s digital strategy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This digital transformation is expected to modernize the way business is done in Dominica and will ensure that the public sector delivers services to its citizens and industries in Dominica, and create an environment where young people can be innovative and create sustainable jobs for themselves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cUnder component one of this project we would start with the focus on legal and regulatory framework to institutions, reform consistency with global best practice to support the modernization of telecommunications and the digital financial services sector while mitigating against growing risk of the digital economy including cyber security, data protection, and privacy,\u201d the minister explained.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Component two which he said deals with digital government infrastructure and platform services will support public sector modernization, resilience, and delivery of digital public services to individuals and businesses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt will aim to ensure that Dominica has put in place the core infrastructure and platforms, institution and human capacity needed to efficiently and effectively manage internal government operations,\u201d he noted. \u201cFor example, public goods will be widely accessible online wherever you are in the country, region, or across the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Grant, \u201cWe will have access to data and information across borders to smooth administration of regional trade, immigration, and other services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He added, \u201cWe will have the ability to rapidly target and deliver payments and social services to citizens and businesses in the event of a natural disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Minister for Public Works, Public Utilities and Digital Economy, Fidel
