Why Nairobi Hospitals Are Ditching Paper Records (Finally)

Picture this: A nurse in a busy Nairobi hospital, minutes away from delivering a baby, scrambles to find a patient’s medical history buried in a filing cabinet. The paper trail is thick as a Nairobi traffic jam—slow, risky, and holding lives hostage.
