from Trini TechCast · host makeITsimpleTT

It’s interesting how this article highlights that while the public is finally getting a look at the drug database, the real challenge is whether the information is actually accessible enough for the average person to use. It sounds like a major step for transparency, though we have to wonder if it will just be another digital archive collecting dust instead of truly empowering patients.Article: https://www.guardian.co.tt/news/public-gains-access-to-drug-database-6.2.2530200.c3c8821192So, while everyone was busy at Carnival, Visa saw a 30% jump in contactless payments, proving people would much rather tap a card than fumble with cash between soca sets.
