DHIS2 Integration with Health Facilities Bank accounts

Dear DHIS2 Community,

I’m exploring whether DHIS2 can support basic financial workflows linked to health facility performance payments.

Is it possible in DHIS2 to:

  1. Generate invoices (for example, based on approved PBF claims or calculated amounts), and
  2. Trigger or integrate a direct payment to the Health Facility bank account (for example via an interoperability/API connection with a payment platform or core banking/mobile money system)?

If this is feasible, I would appreciate guidance on the recommended approach , and any examples or implementations you can share.

Thank you.

Hi @ruhinda

Welcome to the DHIS2 Community!

It’s really nice that you are looking into making use of DHIS2 in the finance context. Good news! Last year we had several implementations shared during the DHIS2 Annual Conference 2025:

Your questions are very general so I assume that you’re not expecting a detailed technical response. I can provide a short and quick overview and hope it will help.

You can certainly make use of a Tracker Program to get indicators on how a health facility is performing (to calculate the Performance Based Finance PBF claims …) or calculated amounts. In the Tracker Program you would use Program Stage Notifications which can send customized templates to a webhook of your choice.

Depending on the payment method, you will most probably need to have a ‘middleware’ that translates the data for the receiving end, or develop an app that will connect to the payment method.
