The Minister of Public Health, Víctor Atallah, is in Washington, United States, fulfilling an important work agenda focused on showcasing the Dominican Republic’s progress in terms of health transformation. During this visit, the head of health is sharing with multilateral organizations and international experts the innovation and modernization strategies that the country has recently implemented.
The minister’s participation includes strategic meetings at the headquarters of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the Organization of American States (OAS). These spaces serve as a platform to showcase how the Dominican nation has managed to strengthen its healthcare infrastructure through the integration of advanced technologies and data-driven management.
Digital transformation and health intelligence
Atallah began her agenda by participating in a seminar alongside PAHO Director Jarbas Barbosa, where the crucial role of health intelligence and digital transformation in modern medicine was discussed. The main objective of these debates is to optimize medical care and develop mechanisms that allow for anticipating the population’s health needs efficiently.
Serving people better requires transforming the way we plan, use data, and articulate the entire system. Innovation makes sense when it allows us to prevent diseases, expand access, and offer more timely responses.
