With funding from the World Fund and at the initiative of the National Health Information System Division, CERHIS (cerhis.org) has been used since December 2017 in the General Referral Hospital and two Health Centers in the Masina I Health Zone in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo.

AEDES supports the Secretariat of National Council for Dialogue on Nutrition (CNDN) in Burkina Faso for the establishment of the National Information Platform for Nutrition: coordination and communication component.

In Mali, AEDES, in collaboration with Santé-Sud, provides technical assistance to the Health and Social Development Support Program in the Mopti Region Phase 2 (PADSS-Mopti 2).

In many parts of Africa, patient health records are still a paper-based affair, which greatly hinders the capability of public health officials to track the spread of diseases like Ebola, let alone allow a nurse to access a single patient’s health history. But thanks to an innovative new health information system based on a NoSQL database and Android tablets, some African hospitals are getting a taste of computerization for the very first time.

CERHIS works on digital tablets, inter-connected to each other used by the staff. Based on the patient follow-up CERHIS records administrative and medical data, including the main acts in medical and technical services.
