Health Management Information System for hospitals - Tanzania

This brief describes the lessons learned from the IICD supported Tanzania Evangelical Lutheran Church Tanzania (ELCT) Health Management Information System (HMIS) project. It is intended for actors in the health area as well as for institutions implementing a similar project that would like to learn from this experience.

The project objective is to improve the management of health facilities and to that end develop a user friendly HMIS to collect reliable information on all activities, and to produce the reports needed by the hospital administration and the Ministry of Health.
