Dear Anastasia,
Thank you for your interest in DHIS2.
You have now contacted the University of Oslo, which provides the DHI2 software and DHIS2 support to Malawi and other countries. However, the Malawi DHIS2 database is managed to the Malawian Ministry of Health, Central Monitoring and Evaluation Division, cc-ed. They have the Malawian health data, so you need to contact them to get access to the data.
Best regards,
Jens Kaasbøll
Professor
University of Oslo

To whom it may concern,
My name is Annastasia from Project Everest, an international organisation from Australia with the aim of implementing social businesses within various communities to provide a beneficial good or service. We currently have three teams in Blantyre, with our team investigating the health sector with the main intention of implementing a pre-diagnostic technology.
We are working closely with the DHO as well as having close ties with the College of Medicine where have recently submitted a research protocol through them for ethical and research approval. With our previous work we have noticed that there are issues associated with overcrowding in clinics, long patient wait times and low health literacy in the communities.
With this technology, we hope to ease congestion in clinics, reduce the number of patients traveling to the clinics and to improve health literacy, although in order for it to be the most accurate product we need very general information from the clinics in Blantyre.
Therefore, we were hoping to gain a better understanding of how the DHIS 2 works and the process associated with registering an account in order to access health data from clinics within Malawi.
We were hoping to also find data on the number of suspected cases versus the number of confirmed cases of various diseases, such as Malaria.
If you have insight or questions regarding any of the above, feel free to contact us.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Regards,
Annastasia Alysandratos,
Project Everest.
