National Electronic Health Records System

Ministry of Health

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.

Solution

Buntu Labs developed a cloud-based EHR platform with offline-first architecture, mobile apps for community health workers, and robust integration with NHIF and insurance providers. The system includes patient registration, clinical documentation, pharmacy management, and analytics dashboards.

Results

• 5,000+ health facilities connected nationwide
• 50 million patient records digitized
• 70% reduction in administrative paperwork
• 40% improvement in diagnostic accuracy through clinical decision support
• 90% uptime despite connectivity challenges
• Recognized by WHO as model digital health implementation
