In a recent statement, they announced the selection of Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) to help simplify the procurement and management of its medical supplies inventory and increase visibility into its financial operations.

This supports TIH’s mission of creating an excellence-driven, comprehensive, free of charge, replicable healthcare system accessible to all. They needed a modern application suite to help automate and streamline its business processes with industry-standard practices. The hospital is also at the forefront in helping the government in diagnosing and treating patients during the current medical emergency. They require a real-time picture of its financials and inventory to enhance patient care.
