In order to provide the best international healthcare IT expertise coupled with high quality national skills in Qatar, GE Healthcare signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the leading Qatari IT services provider, Malomatia.
Malomatia will provide systems integration services for GE Healthcare as a Systems Integration Partner for its Centricity® applications, including the flagship solution Centricity Enterprise.
In a joint statement issued today, the two companies announced the MOU is aimed at supporting GE Healthcare's rapidly growing customer base in the entire Middle East Region. Malomatia's dedicated healthcare competency, experience and deep knowledge of local business issues will be a great match for GE's Healthcare IT applications that allow customers to tailor and integrate solutions to meet their specific needs. The partnership will also focus on large-scale education and certification of IT staff in Qatar on GE Healthcare IT applications, reflecting the commitment of both companies to help establish a healthcare IT center of excellence in Qatar.
As a part of this MOU, Malomatia will help GE support its 'Digital Day One Initiative' designed to accelerate healthcare IT deployment so every new hospital can open its doors fully digital on its first day of operation. This initiative is complemented by GE's 'High Performance Healthcare Initiative', which helps existing hospitals improve efficacy, quality, and innovation through improved healthcare IT software and aligned clinical best practices that have been pioneered by GE's customers. In their proposed new partnership, GE and Malomatia will offer healthcare customers a complete range of services to tailor and manage using proven best practices.
"Making Digital Day One and High Performance Healthcare a reality in Qatar and beyond will require a massive ecosystem. To have a systems integrator like Malomatia, with its dedicated healthcare IT practice, join forces with us will greatly increase our capacity to support customers," said Laurent Rotival, Senior Vice President and General Manager, GE Healthcare IT. "Having Malomatia already as a partner when our new joint venture company with Qatar Foundation launches this fall will be part of what we expect to be an impressive start."
"Dedicated to realizing Qatar's e-Health Vision 2030 and cultivating local healthcare IT sector, Malomatia looks forward to this partnership. Enabling new and existing Qatari companies to become high performing organizations through technology, is core to everything we do," said Mr. Yusuf Lanewala, CEO, Malomatia. "Through this new alliance, we have unprecedented opportunity to push healthcare IT forward by at least, a decade in just the next few years. This alliance offers customers an end-to-end approach from three trusted companies (GE, Malomatia and Qatar Foundation) each leaders in their respective industries."
GE and Malomatia will initially focus on certification of Malomatia engineers on Centricity Enterprise and Qatari customers, but the companies expect to broaden coverage across the Middle East and Africa shortly thereafter.
