KARACHI, Pakistan, Nov. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- ChildLife
Foundation (ChildLife), a not-for-profit healthcare organization in
Pakistan that has saved lives of
over three million children to-date, has selected Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure (OCI) to support its third party hospital management
system application. As a result, ChildLife has significantly
increased the utilization of the application by improving its
availability and performance, at a reduced cost. This is helping it
direct the maximum amount of funding and resource towards achieving
its mission: providing quality and free-of-cost emergency
healthcare to every child in Pakistan.
ChildLife operates in 21 hospitals with 10 state-of-the-art,
model emergency rooms in all public-teaching hospitals across Sindh
and Baluchistan provinces and 11 telemedicine satellite centers
serving far-flung areas, providing services that typically help
save one million lives annually. ChildLife has been expanding its
operations exponentially since its inception in 2010. To
continue this, it needed a stable, secure and scalable platform to
underpin its hospital management information system and support
this ongoing growth.
"Preventable deaths claim the lives of hundreds of children
annually in Pakistan, with
pneumonia alone killing 92,000 children annually. Our aim is to
save as many of them as possible by making rapid access to
free-of-cost and quality emergency medical care possible across the
country," said Dr. Ahson Rabbani,
CEO - ChildLife Foundation. "Knowing that our hospital
management system application is running on a reliable,
performant and secure cloud like Oracle Cloud, gives us peace of
mind and allows us to ensure that the majority of our funding goes
towards delivering an efficient healthcare system."
ChildLife has made significant savings by deploying Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure to help it future-proof its IT infrastructure,
instead of upgrading its on-premises solution. Additionally, Oracle
Cloud will help deliver the performance and scalability needed to
run demanding workloads and maximize the availability of data and
applications, as well as provide a disaster recovery site.
"Transforming the future of healthcare can be achieved by
leveraging the latest technology to deliver high-quality patient
care at a reduced cost. While this is true globally, it
specifically applies to a country like Pakistan, where resources are limited," said
Amer Khan, Senior Sales Director,
Technology Business, Oracle Pakistan. "We are delighted to help
ChildLife Foundation build a reliable and highly available
healthcare platform using Oracle's cloud offerings that will help
provide patient-centered, value-based care, enabling the foundation
to continue to expand its healthcare network without worrying about
the security, scalability and performance issues."
The contract was awarded to Oracle in August earlier this year
and went live in October 2020.
