OpenLMIS
What is this?
It is a platform designed to help developing countries improve the distribution and supply of medicines and other healthcare supplies in their healthcare systems.
Why was it developed?
It was developed to address certain challenges faced by developing countries. These include: the proper management of health supplies; the lack of data on quantities and location of supplies; and the lack of coordination between providers and health posts.
Why are we sharing it?
We share it because as an open source platform, it can be customized and adapted according to the specific needs of each country and healthcare system. Thanks to this OpenLMIS would help improve the efficiency, effectiveness and transparency of the healthcare supply chain, which in turn helps improve the quality of healthcare for the people who need it most.
