TUNIS — Tunisia is preparing to launch Sahetna, a national digital health portal designed to give citizens easier access to healthcare information and help them follow their medical journey online.

The secure platform is expected to bring together digital health services and provide citizens with improved access to medical information through a centralized online system.

The initiative represents a major step in Tunisia’s healthcare digitalization strategy. By expanding online access to health information, the platform could make it easier for patients to manage appointments, follow medical records, and interact with healthcare services.

Health officials say digital platforms can help improve coordination, reduce administrative delays, and make healthcare services more accessible to citizens.

The launch also reflects Tunisia’s wider efforts to modernize public services through technology while strengthening the security and management of sensitive health data.

Sahetna could become an important foundation for Tunisia’s future e-health ecosystem, supporting more connected, patient-focused healthcare across the country.
