Hello DHIS2 Community 
My name is Evelyn Patra Asio, and I am based in Uganda. I am a Public Health Informatics PhD candidate at Makerere University School of Public Health and also affiliated with the Makerere University School of Computing and Informatics Technology
I became involved with DHIS2 through maternal and child health digitalization work in Uganda, particularly around ANC eRegistries, maternal workflows, and interoperability between health systems and Civil Registration & Vital Statistics (CRVS) systems.
Over the years, I have contributed to work involving:
- DHIS2 Tracker implementations for antenatal care (ANC)
- Maternal and newborn digital registries
- Workflow redesign and interoperability mapping
- DHIS2 as Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI)
- Integration of ANC, maternity, postnatal, and birth notification workflows
- CRVS interoperability discussions involving MVRS/NIRA systems in Uganda
My current PhD research focuses on strengthening the integration of maternal and child eRegistry workflows with birth notification and civil registration systems using DHIS2.
Areas I am especially passionate about include:
- DHIS2 Tracker
- Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI)
- Maternal and child health systems
- Interoperability, OpenHIE, and FHIR
- Implementation science
- Data quality and routine health information systems
Fun fact: I genuinely enjoy turning complex health workflows into practical, human-centered digital systems that frontline health workers can actually use effectively. I also love visual workflow mapping, systems thinking, leadership development, and bridging public health with technology innovation.
I’m looking forward to learning from the community and connecting with others working in DHIS2, interoperability, maternal health, CRVS, and digital public infrastructure.
Happy to connect!

Hello everyone,
My name is Ntombikhona, known as Khe, and I am based in South Africa. I come from a background in virology, with a focus on drug resistance and infectious diseases. However, my work has expanded into climate and health research, including studies involving air quality, extreme heat, and public health surveillance.
I am passionate about data-driven healthcare and the use of digital health systems to strengthen health programs and research in Africa. I am especially interested in how platforms like DHIS2 can support disease surveillance, health system strengthening, and evidence-based decision-making.
I’m excited to be part of this community, learn from everyone’s experiences, and collaborate with others who are working to improve healthcare through data and innovation.
