Engagement snapshot
The challenge
The Kenya Ministry of Health needed a unified electronic health records system to replace fragmented paper-based systems across 5,000+ facilities. The solution had to work in low-connectivity areas, support multiple languages, and integrate with existing NHIF systems.
