Hi everyone in the community,

I am Neranga from Sri Lanka. Work as a Senior Registrar in Health Informatics (medical doctor specialized in health informatics) to the Ministry of Health. Also a member of the WHO roster of digital health experts.

I have been involved in DHIS2 based implementations at various levels.

  1. The electronic Reproductive Health Information System of the country: my involvement was at the phase 1 implementation, mainly system customization support to the core team and training end-users. The system has now being implemented island-wide with highest level of institutionalization.

  2. Currently I am involved in DHIS2 based National COVID19 Surveillance System implementation and coordinate the overall project from the Ministry side. Its indeed great to see that our team’s (@Pamod @priyanga @Pramil ) work inspired the DHIS2 community to develop and release the DHIS2 Tracker metadata package. It is further inspiring to see many countries adopting DHIS2 as the surveillance platform. We went into integrate the DHIS2 with immigration system, telecom tower information systems and also to a self-tracking app.

Would like to get involved with the community and share my/our experience including what went well and what we could have done better to overcome implementation challenges we faced.

Thanks.
