Abstract

COVID-19, the very recent pandemic that brought the global world to its knees has costed the lives of millions, the economy of many nations crippled, a lot of lives distorted due to this unforeseen attack on the health security of the whole world. Outbreaks such as the COVID-19 thrive with increasing mobility all around the world as this novel disease found its way into almost all the nations of the world in less than 6 months. This increases the likelihood for another outbreak of similar nature to occur in the future except certain long-term measures are put in place to strengthen and optimize the health care delivery system and health security. Centralized Electronic Health record system is a core system emanating across developed countries to help improve health system and better health delivery. Apparently, its introduction is somewhat in very few parts of the world, howbeit its full potential is yet to be maximized due to the reluctance of many nations to consider it. In addition, this article highlights the cardinal role of Centralized Health System in surmounting ineffective health care system, highlighting challenges faced by countries faced with the least Human Development Index and discusses why the employment of this system is significant towards achieving an optimized health care system that will be equipped enough to numb the spread of any possible outbreak even before it begins.
