Communications Manager Stacy Peters said that the website bridges longstanding information gaps, offering a centralized, reliable source for the public. Developed in collaboration with Fiscal Frontier, a woman-owned firm, the platform showcases GPHC’s comprehensive services while highlighting innovation, local expertise and commitment to patient-centred care .

The release said that the launch represents the first phase of a broader vision for digital healthcare at GPHC, with plans to introduce interactive features and expanded e-health services across all branches.
