The Ministry of Health launched on Wednesday the first digital center of vaccination in Nouaceur, near Casablanca, aiming to vaccinate 3 000 to 4 000 people per day as the country races against a spread of the Delta variant to achieve mass immunization.
The digital center includes a smart vaccination process via a QR code system that will save the footprint of each person all along the process, from registration to vaccination, and enable daily monitoring.
Digitalization of the center aims to raise standards for data collection in order to analyze the vaccination process including the number of vaccinated people, the total number of vaccines, the treatment as well as the duration of each operation.
The Health Ministry wants to make the centers a controlled environment, with smart sensors that allow controlling the vaccines’ temperature, supervision, management, and analysis of medical data.
The center was opened on August 4 by the governor of Nouaceur province and the Minister of Health, Khalid Aït Taleb.
“This project will help improve the image of the country in terms of the management of COVID-19 while developing a smart and innovative healthcare system.” said the ministry of Health on their website.
The North African country ranks amongst the top in the continent to systematically vaccinate its population since vaccine production became available worldwide.
But fears over a Delta-driven wave of infections are casting a long shadow over a potential emergence of high cases and deaths, with a steady increase in cases forcing the government to adopt stricter restrictions, namely extending its night curfew, by two hours earlier at 9 p.m.
