Project information
🇬🇫 GUF (French Guiana) - French Guiana is an overseas department and region of France located on the northeastern coast of South America. It has a population of approximately 290,691 as of 2021. The digital health situation in French Guiana is characterized by efforts to improve healthcare delivery through the use of technology. Telemedicine services have been implemented to provide remote medical consultations, especially in remote areas with limited healthcare access. Electronic health records (EHRs) are being adopted to centralize patient information and facilitate better coordination among healthcare providers. Mobile health applications are also gaining popularity, enabling individuals to monitor their health and access relevant medical information. However, challenges such as limited internet connectivity in some areas and the need for further investment in digital infrastructure remain.
