Vodafone Egypt wins EGP 2.3 bln contract for healthcare platform

Vodafone Egypt has secured a contract valued at EGP 2.3 billion to develop a digital platform to support the country's new primary healthcare system, ITWeb reported. The new system is understood to be based on the UK's NHS and Vodafone Egypt will leverage support from the UK Department of International Trade. Vodafone will also work with DXC Technology, which already provides IT infrastructure services across the NHS supply chain, to develop the digital platform.

The platform will be piloted in Port Said before being introduced in four other governorates, then across Egypt.
