Education and Health Information systems in Latin America

[Gassim (AL-Gassim Sharaf Addin)]

Hi @lopezamalia853,

Thank you for starting this initiative. I’m wondering how you would like to start? Are you already working on a project or considering starting one?

@lopezamalia853

Is not easy for me because my strengths are in educational topics. Health is not disconnected, then the challenge could be how to treat them in Latin America.

I understand your strength are related to Education which is great, does this mean you’re looking into how it connects to health topics or want to focus more on the Education topics. Which topics are you finding not easy?

@lopezamalia853

I would like to understand how to be connected, perhaps a topic, a group of people engaged on it or find discussions. This kind of activities cannot be done alone.

My aim is to understand first and then invite friends from my country to participate and add data from us to build something.

I completely understand what you mean! It’s definitely useful to connect with others through the community, academies, and hopefully in the field where things are applied. I like the idea about inviting your friends, we do encourage and invite community members to organize local meetups (and sharing with the community), CoP in your country (or region)!

As you can see, I am lost in the net. Any comment could be a good start.

If you haven’t already done so, I really recommend starting with the free online self-paced digital courses in the Online Academy: academy.dhis2.org. Please create an account and start with the Introduction to DHIS2, The DHIS2 Online Academy is introducing new courses on our updated training platform!

I would also encourage you to take the Planning and Budgeting DHIS2 Implementations, We are launching the Level 2 Planning and Budgeting DHIS2 Implementations online course
