Complements. It’s been a fruitful year for my exposure to DHIS2. Unfortunately I missed the webinar on creating Immunization Inventory on December 13. I couldn’t get a link to the recorded event. But thanks to the experience I have gathered so far, I was able to build a custom app for data capture for the Inventory Tools I was developing as well as create the Indicators, Visualization and Dashboard. It was a great way to end 2022.

My immediate target for 2023 is to fully implement USSD and SMS with the system and create more comprehensive dashboards.

I want to use this medium to thanks all those who have helped me on my journey to fully understand the working of DHIS2 tool. I look forward to your continue support in the community.
