BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 15. The traditional approach to the health care system did not meet modern requirements, said Azerbaijani Health Minister Teymur Musayev during a "Health for All" panel session at the XI Global Baku Forum, Trend reports.
"The swift advancement of information technologies has actualized the concept of "Health for All." The digitization of healthcare represents a transformation of the sector, encompassing not only technological but also cultural shifts," he said.
The minister said it has paved the way for the emergence of a new paradigm in healthcare.
He further noted that Azerbaijan undertook significant efforts over the past two decades to bolster the national healthcare system, focusing on infrastructure, human resources, and healthcare financing.
