    IBA wins $670,000 project in Tonga

    Sydney – Tuesday, 18 March 2008 – IBA Health Group Limited (ASX: IBA) – Australia's largest listed specialist information technology company today announced a contract with the Ministry of Health in the Kingdom of Tonga for a web-based hospital information system (HIS) valued at over $670,000.

    The agreement with IBA comprises initial licence and service fees of $574,000 together with support and
    maintenance fees of over $95,000 in the first year.
    The new system is being installed at the 190-bed Vaiola Hospital in Tonga’s capital Nuku’alofa and is targeted to be fully operational by March 2009. Central to the new HIS is the company’s web-based patient administration results reporting.

    The solution, a key component of Tonga’s Health Sector Support, will give doctors and other carers at the
    Vaiola Hospital, three district hospitals and outlying health centres and maternity clinics, point-of-care
    access to vital patient information. The web-based applications enable ready access to patient information. IBA’s solution will also improve the Tongan Ministry of Health’s capacity to collect, manage and use health information effectively to assist future decision making.
    IBA is pursuing several opportunities in the Pacific region as preventative health and health promotion
    have become major priorities for island governments and world health organisations alike. IBA’s executive chairman and CEO, Gary Cohen said: “With an expanding regional presence which provides a unique understanding of the regions needs we are well placed to capitalise on these opportunities both from a geographic and technology perspective.”
