This week, Johns Hopkins University Global mHealth Initiative published a new report summarizing the findings of their assessment (carried out at the request of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) of digital platforms that have an established presence in low- and middle-income countries, and could be rapidly reconfigured to address COVID-19 related case management and contact tracing needs. They concluded that DHIS2 Tracker is one of two platforms that “stand out for their maturity, flexibility, and large-scale deployment.”
We are very pleased with the results of this assessment, and are grateful to the core DHIS2 team, the HISP network and the global DHIS2 community for helping to develop, deploy, and provide valuable feedback on the DHIS2 COVID-19 digital data packages, as well as the core software and applications that make these packages possible. The JHU report gave special recognition to DHIS2’s “large active global community of implementers with experience in customization” – we could not have done it without you!
