Paradise Private Hospital’s Director of Medical Services, Dr. Erica Opu, recently presented at Digital Health Festival 2026 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC), joining healthcare leaders, innovators, and digital health professionals shaping the future of healthcare.
Dr. Opu shared insights into Paradise Private Hospital’s digital transformation journey, highlighting the transition from paper-based processes to connected digital care through integrated electronic health records and cloud-first healthcare systems in Papua New Guinea.
Her presentation focused on how smarter healthcare technology and practical digital innovation can improve patient flow, strengthen clinical coordination, and enhance patient outcomes, even within resource-constrained environments.
Digital Health Festival 2026 created a platform for meaningful conversations around connected care, healthcare innovation, and the future of digital transformation in healthcare.
What a proud moment for the hospital.
