Our Mission Statement:
To support the management of health facilities to influence health-related funding and policy decisions, and provide doctors with the patient information needed to improve decision-making before, during, and after care.
Our Approach
eHealth Nigeria’s work is built on the belief that effective and accurate health services should be universally available. We also recognize the rights and obligations of host countries to contribute to the design and implementation of these health systems. With this mind, eHealth Nigeria works with Ministries of Health, local governmental organizations, and in-country partners to develop sustainable Health Management Information Systems (HMIS).
Our #1 priority is to create Health Management Information Systems that are easy-to-use and that hospital staff can rely on. In order to do this, we have built our eHealth and mHealth systems to address the following challenges:
- Unreliable Power
- Dusty, hot, and humid environment
- Lack of skilled ICT staff
- Lack of trained doctors and physicians
Sustainability is crucial to the success of Health Management Information System implementations. By pairing OpenSource software with training and capacity building, eHealth Nigeria hopes to help create a sustainable and reliable health care system.
