THE CHALLENGE

A Crisis For Community Health

With a significant decline in foreign aid funding, governments are struggling to keep their national eCHIS systems running.

Without sustained support, countries risk losing years of progress in digitizing community health, breaking data continuity, and disrupting services for millions of people who rely on frontline care.

Procurement: Often third-party implementers

Next Generation eCHIS
