Under the memorandum, DATAM EDU in collaboration with Housing Finance Foundation will directly work with relevant ministries, department and agencies charged with the task of implementing Vision 2030 flagship projects.

Dhanush Infotech's Dactari Health and Medius Holdings under GN Corp have tied up to develop a coding system that will help track the medical equipment and consumables along the supply chain.

CIO EAST AFRICA, the leading magazine for ICT industry in East Africa, covers the development alongside some details.

  

The coding system will synergize the efforts by Dhanush to give a total solution in terms of equipment and consumable monitoring within the medical supply chain - Dr. Emily Obwaka

Dhanush Infotech and Medius Holdings under GN Corp have signed a partnership that will help harmonize the naming of medical equipment and consumables in a unified categorization.

The coding system under the abbreviation CHAMP will help medical institutions to track the equipment and consumables from the manufacturer, to the importer and even track its way to the local hospital where it is going to be used.

Dr Sam Abraham of Yamanashi University hospitals says the coding can assist track lots of equipment that had defects and those that need repair to the very area that they were distributed or sold to and will be key in the fight against counterfeits.

Dhanush which owns the Dactari Health says the partnership seeks to synergize the technology, information and expertise available with Medius and Dactari's local network of medical facilities and Private Sector who have expressed interest in this CHAMP coding system.

According to Dr. Emily Obwaka of Dactari Health the system is a one stop solution in the medical equipment supply chain that will help eliminate defective machines

"The coding system will synergize the efforts by Dhanush to give a total solution in terms of equipment and consumable monitoring within the medical supply chain that is coupled into the Hospital management System that we have developed. Thus we are able to know what works and what is defective," she says.

Chief operations officer of Medius Holdings Haruo Nonaka adds that the good ecosystem in Kenya and the good reception from the government and private sector will increase the use and capability of this system.

Tuvuti.com, a tech-review blog based in Kenya, has also covered this event. Please read it here.

Reproduced below in its entirety is the interview of Shishir Saraf, CEO, Dhanush Infotech East Africa, by CIO East Africa, leading magazine for the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry in East Africa.

After having a chat with the Dhanush Infotech East Africa CEO Shishir Saraf, four words stick out from the conversation as I dig deeper into what plans the company has the region: Cost, Innovation, Efficiency and Services.

To understand Dhanush Infotech's strategy, one needs to take a closer look at the company's past as well as its recent product releases into the market.

Previously, Dhanush Infotech was mainly known for the IFMIS project by the government that was meant to bring efficiency in financial management at ministry level with the company charged with training more than 3,000 government employees across the country. From here, Dhanush has grown to become a credible company especially in training as well as in technology implementation and support.

Before laying out the business plan, the firm took its time to study the market and recognised gaps in the local market that would require capacity building. With this information, the company was able to roll out its partners solutions in a way that would also allow the solutions provider to customise the products. One plan of achieving trust was to help clients to recognise their requirements so as to make informed decisions in the areas of establishing the right solutions and the best partner to deliver the solution.

Dhanush also decentralised into the region with business units functioning independently so as to allow them achieve organisational objectives with maximum localisation. Unit executives were given leeway in making decisions regarding capacity needs and solution offering.

"We are in the business of selling solutions by gaining customer confidence. We prefer to spend money in gaining the same through complimentary services like market research, preparation of business cases as well as advising clients about the pros and cons," said Saraf.

Dhanush's partners include Oracle and Microsoft for enterprise solutions. It also provides business intelligence tools, business analytics and reporting tools while mobile phone-based solutions are under development. Among the latest products that have hit the market from Dhanush Infotech is Dactari Health, a telemedicine solution that provides remote monitoring, combines flow of information through video, clinical data and work flow information. Dactari Health, developed as a response to the scarcity of specialized doctors and data in healthcare centres, works alongside other solutions including hospital management, electronic health record management and ambulance management.

Business leaders of Dhanush Group from across the globe met at the 3rd Annual Leadership Summit at its headquarters in Hyderabad held from 03rd to 07th March 2014. The leaders came from diverse places such as South Africa, Australia, India and Kenya among others. The summit focussed on reviewing the business operations so far to chart the roadmap for future.

The meet saw brainstorming sessions with leaders sharing their insights and experiences while suggesting measures for innovation and improvement. The event was concluded by a weekend session with wider participation from managers too, so as to discuss the organizational goals and values in greater detail.

The Asian Weekly, Kenya's first weekly Asian newspaper, finds Dhanush Infotech's contribution in improving Kenya's health care system through Dactari Health noteworthy. This post features in its latest edition 183, 21st – 27th February 2014.

DHANUSH INFO TECH BOOSTS TELE-MEDICINE VIA DACTARI HEALTH
By Sakina Taki

Dhanush Infotech opened its new offices and training centres' at Rahimtullah Towers on February 14. Being one of the global leaders in terms of IT service, Dhanush Infotech aims to provide medical services to people in remote areas by using Tele-health. Dactari Health is a software focussed on health and it has been specialized for the African market explained Dr. Emily Obwaka, a public health specialist currently working with Dactari Health.

After setting up in countries like India and Australia, Kenya was targeted for establishment as it is seen as "head of directing Africa in the right direction," said the MD and CEO of Dhanush Infotech DSN Murthy. Although costs of the infrastructure can be estimated to about 200 million, friends of the state house digital team will provide servers that will ensure free wi-fi. "No tax-payers money is spent in establishing the wi-fi," ensured Dennis Itumbi, the Director of Digital Strategy Innovation and Diaspora Relations.

Since the country lacks a comprehensive medical database for individuals as suggested by Itumbi, Dactari Health steps in to store electronic medical records for patients at any particular time assisting with an accurate diagnosis anywhere in the country. Such innovative ideas are welcome by the State House as the President will be hosting the Africa Innovative Summit soon, with the launch scheduled in the next three weeks.

IT Systems integrator Dhanush Infotech has launched its vocational training center to help develop skills as the firm. Dhanush which has trained about 200 staff so far says there is a need to train more people in the region to automate services and processes in the market place.

The vocational center will provide training in various courses in various segments including ICT, health, infrastructure, mining among others.

"The Kenyan market has a fairly skilled workforce who with a little grooming can be a wonderful skill set. With more individuals having the right skills we can move from providing Africa with the best services to targeting the global market. Creating skills creates sustainability in the market" said Deundukuri Suryanarayana Murthy of Dhanush.

The company that was involved in the implementation of the IFMIS project in partnership with Treasury also adds that it has launched its e-health product Dactari Health that allows diagnosis and prescriptions through mobile phones.

The Telemedicine product will help many Kenyans especially in the rural setting have access to a doctor online from where bringing medical services closer to the people.

According to director of digital media and Diaspora communications at State house Dennis Itumbi the innovation will help fill the gap before the government puts up physical structures to in various areas.

"The country lacks a comprehensive medical database and such a product will help bring together medical data allowing patients to access better services as medical records will now be on the cloud," he said.

He adds that ongoing infrastructure expansion in the country in collaboration with various counties will help scale up the uptake of various innovations in the ICT space in Kenya

Dactari Health, a group company of Dhanush, features in an exclusive story of The Standard, the largest Kenyan newspaper, in its edition of 12th February 2014.

The post describes Kenyan government's plans to digitise health care to make it more accessible to people from rural and remote regions and how Dactari Healths' Afya Telemedicine would be instrumental in its nation-wide implementation.

Dr Emily Obwaka, Chief Strategy Officer at Dactari Health and also a Public Health specialist, is quoted at length. She explains the benefits it would bestow on people, the business model and future plans. Please read the full post here.

Venue: IPSWICH

WHILE Ipswich is growing at a rapid rate, it has some time before it catches up to the about six million-plus population of our Indian sister city Hyderabad. But that’s not to say our humble 170,000-strong city can’t be a worthwhile contributor to the sister city relationship. A delegation of officials from Hyderabad City – including Mayor Karthika Reddy Banda – visited Ipswich yesterday, keen to talk up relations between the two cities.

Education was a big talking point at the mayoral reception put on for the visiting delegation at the Brookwater Golf Club, as well as exchanges between the two city’s educational institutions.

Mayor Banda said it was her first visit to the city, after having signed up to the sister city agreement, which includes Brisbane, only last year.

“This is the first time we have signed with two cities,” she said.

“It is a nice chance to exchange our ideas.”

Mayor Banda said that despite the differences – “Hyderabad has a thickly populated area, but Ispwich is a smaller population area” – there was still a great deal to learn from Ipswich and its development management.

“We have a nice chance to go through these activities and management,” she said.

Mayor Paul Pisasale said the sister city agreement with the large Indian city had put Ipswich on the world map.

“It’s about making sure we understand what makes a city grow. What makes a city grow is sharing technology, sharing a vision and the culture,” Cr Pisasale. “We can learn a lot from each other.”

Cr Pisasale said future student exchanges between to the two cities would further strengthen their ties.

ayor Banda and her delegation are in Australia to attend the 2011 Asia Cities Summit which begins in Brisbane today.

The summit will feature government officials from around the world along with guest speakers Sir Richard Branson and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Members of the delegation conducted a tour of Springfield yesterday afternoon.

Treasurer and Minister for Employment and Economic Development Andrew Fraser said apart from bringing the international ICT industry to Queensland, the Indian firm’s Springfield premises would create more than 200 local jobs during its first few years of operation.

“This is a coup for Springfield which has been positioning itself as one of Queensland’s hi tech hubs of the future,” Mr. Fraser said.

Dhanush plans to become one of the largest information and communication technology (ICT) employers in the region, and its global reach will be a draw card for other international firms looking to grow their market in the Asia Pacific. It’s becoming increasingly clear that successful overseas firms consider Queensland to be a viable next step when expanding their international operations.

Dhanush’s presence in Springfield presents a major opportunity to increase the international exposure of Queensland’s emerging local ICT industry. The firm received a grant from the Queensland Investment and Incentive Scheme, a State Government program aimed at attracting new industry to Queensland, to assist in establishing their Springfield headquarters.

Dhanush Chairman DSN Murthy said a number of factors influenced the firm’s final decision to base its Asia Pacific operations in Springfield. “Queensland is recognized as a leader in IT security and games development, and is a significant provider of software to asset intensive industries,” Mr. Murthy said. “The positive business climate in the region, the opportunity for ongoing business partnerships here and the support from the State Government all contributed to the business case for choosing Springfield.”

Dhanush Director of Operations, Mr. Lalit Gupta said the company had set high goals for its first few years of operation. “Over the next few years we anticipate our staff numbers at Springfield Central to grow substantially to support operations in the Australian, New Zealand and Asia Pacific regions,” he said. “If there’s one place that we can reach these milestones, it’s Queensland.”

Mr. Fraser said that the company would also work with local universities and training institutions to establish its own technology academy.

Dhanush joins a growing list of major ICT firms associated with Queensland, such as IBM, Oracle, Red Hat, SAP, Sun Microsystems, Mincom and Technology One.
