# How 250 Zambian clinics swapped paper files for the cloud

**[TechCentral](https://daily.dev/sources/techcentral)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Paratus Zambia deployed Starlink satellite connectivity across 250 health facilities in Luapula, Muchinga and Northern provinces, in partnership with Right to Care Zambia. The connectivity supports Zambia's SmartCare electronic health record system, replacing paper-based records with real-time patient data capture. Rising data usage from digital systems caused connectivity issues at some sites, so Paratus and RTCZ moved affected facilities to the Paratus Essential Access Solution plan, which removes data bundle thresholds. This is promoted content paid for by Paratus Group.
