Objective and Purpose of the Assignment
Project Overview: The Introducing eGovernment through Digital Health Project is supporting the Government of Tonga’s commitment to its eGovernment initiative through implementing digital health solutions. The project is supported by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and has two outputs that focuses on 1) improving the enabling environment to digital health in Tonga, and 2) the implementation of a National Health Information System (NHIS). The outcome of the project is to improve patient management and evidence- based decision-making to advance universal health coverage.
The NHIS is delivered through an electronic platform / application that enables patient registration, appointment scheduling, admission and medical records management, interdepartmental clinical management, pharmacy prescription, billing, as well as inventory management and integration with other existing medical systems and devices. The NHIS was first launched at Vaiola Hospital in November 2021, and has since been introduced to all health facilities across the Kingdom of Tonga by July 2023.Whilst the health system is preventing biological infections, the NHIS and its supporting infrastructure must also protect itself from malware infections and other cybersecurity threats that are increasingly targeting network integrated medical devices and hospital IT systems. A cybersecurity assessment is sought to understand the potential threats and risks associated with the implementation and operation of the NHIS, and to provide recommendations to reduce the risks to an acceptable level.ADB is the executing agency for the technical assistance (TA), and the Ministry of Health (MOH), Government of Tonga is the implementing agency of the project.Objectives: ADB is seeking the services of a consultant to perform a technical security review on the NHIS and its supporting infrastructure, with the following objectives: • To ensure that cybersecurity threats and risks in relation to the NHIS are identified, addressed and managed appropriately; • To ensure adequate controls (people, technology, process) are designed and implemented properly to protect the NHIS and the assets, including both the health data and physical assets; and, • To report and make recommendations on how to reduce risks of cybersecurity threats against the NHIS to an acceptable level.

Tonga
Tonga is a small island developing state whose economy depends on remittances, agriculture, tourism and external assistance. The country is highly exposed to natural disasters, including cyclones and volcanic events, which periodically disrupt growth and strain public finances. Recent development efforts have prioritised resilient infrastructure, renewable energy expansion and public financial management reforms. Strengthening private sector development and improving connectivity are central to supporting inclusive growth, while climate adaptation remains a core long-term policy challenge.
