The eHealth Programme under the Central Asia Health Systems Strengthening (CAHSS) Project recently won the 2014 Manthan Award in the eHealth category. The award recognises the best use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and digital tools to create holistic and comprehensive impact on people in South Asia and Asia Pacific.
The eHealth Programme was selected as one of seven finalists in the eHealth category. The Project was later declared a winner at the 11th annual Manthan Conference and Awards for Best South Asian Digital Content held in New Delhi, India, in December 2014. The eHealth Programme beat out several finalists from South Asia to win the award.
“It is such an honour to see the eHealth Programme under the CAHSS Project receive the Manthan Award and be recognised on an international platform,” said Saleem Sayani, Director, AKDN eHealth Resource Centre (AKDN eHRC). “Not only does this award acknowledge AKDN’s significant efforts to provide high-quality, low-cost, equitable healthcare through eHealth to communities in South-Central Asia, it also validates the importance of and need for such projects, especially in the developing world. I only hope that this is the first of many such awards and honours for AKDN and its eHealth programmes and initiatives.”
The CAHSS Project
Initiated in 2013, the CAHSS Project is implemented by the Aga Khan Health Service, Afghanistan; Aga Khan Health Service, Pakistan; Aga Khan Health Service, Tajikistan; the Aga Khan University and the French Medical Institute for Children, Afghanistan. The AKDN eHRC supports the eHealth needs and requirements of the Project.
As part of the CAHSS Project, the eHealth Programme operates in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Tajikistan. The Programme provides access to low-cost, equitable healthcare services through eHealth tools and technologies to underserved communities in these countries.
The eHealth Programme is deeply appreciative of the continued support provided by its committed donors, the Aga Khan Foundation, Canada and the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada. The support of these agencies is essential to the Programme’s efforts to provide healthcare access to underserved communities.
