A split-screen photograph contrasts the inefficiency of paper medical records with modern digital technology in a Ugandan healthcare context. On the left, a frustrated male health worker, dressed in a local polo shirt, struggles to locate information amidst an overwhelming mountain of disorganized paper files on overflowing, dusty wooden shelves in a cramped, dimly lit storage room.
