Abstract
Health technology has revolutionized the provision of health care in both developed and developing countries.
However, developing countries face significant challenges in the adoption and implementation of health
technology, which can affect the quality of care they provide. This paper aims to explore the impacts of health
technology on the quality of care in developing countries.
Firstly, the use of health technology in developing countries has improved access to health care services, especially
in rural and remote areas. Telemedicine, for instance, has enabled health professionals to offer consultations,
diagnosis and treatment to patients who are far away from health facilities. Additionally, mobile health applications
have made it easier for patients to access health information and manage their health conditions from the comfort
of their homes.
Secondly, health technology has improved the efficiency and effectiveness of health care services in developing
countries. Electronic Health Records (EHRs), for instance, have made it easier for health professionals to access
patient information, track their medical histories and make informed decisions about their care. This has reduced
errors, improved coordination among health care providers and enhanced the quality of care.
However, the adoption and implementation of health technology in developing countries face significant
challenges. These challenges include limited resources, inadequate infrastructure, insufficient training for health
care providers and resistance to change. As a result, some health facilities may not have the necessary technology
or expertise to fully implement health technology, which can affect the quality of care they provide.
In conclusion, health technology has the potential to significantly improve the quality of care in developing
countries. However, to fully realize this potential, there is a need to address the challenges faced in the adoption
and implementation of health technology.
