Hon House Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that the Big Impact Award was awarded in Barcelona to two South African doctors for their Mobile Triage App, piloted at Khayelitsha District Hospital, where it was developed and tested, and that the app has taken its place as number one on the global stage;
2) further notes that this Mobile Triage App assists in sorting patients according to urgency in emergency settings, and helps health care workers perform triage accurately;
3) acknowledges that the two individuals who received this award, Dr Yaseen Khan and Dr Mohammed Dalwai, founded the Open Medicine Project, through which this app was developed;
4) congratulates these individuals for making waves in the medical field and accomplishing this great feat, and also for hoisting our flag high, thus making us as a nation proud; and 5) calls on government and the private sector to continue to support such initiatives and other SMMEs, in order to help advance their innovations in this and other sectors.
Agreed to.
