Muscat: The Sultanate, represented by the Directorate-General of Information Technology in the Ministry of Health (MoH), has received the Champion Prize of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) under the eHealth Portal Category.


Abdullah bin Humoud al Raqadi, MoH’s Director-General for IT, received the prize in a ceremony held at Geneva in Switzerland with a vast attendance from the participating sates. Al Raqadi expressed his appreciation upon this national outstanding achievement.


He said that the ministry had earlier won this prize as the first place for Al Shifa project. This year witnessed 345 nominated projects, which saw over 1.1 million votes.


The WSIS is a unique two-phase United Nations (UN) summit that aimed at evolving multi-stakeholder platform at the national, regional and international levels.


The eHealth portal is the result of the collaborative efforts between the MoH and the Information Technology Authority (ITA) on e-governance.


It delivers more than 114 e-services that are targeted to all community categories including patients, citizens, residents, employees, government and private companies. — ONA
