Vanuatu Public Health Information System

Digicel and TVL agree to provide free access to web-based Public Health Information System for MoH Health Workers

This is thanks to a Memorandum of Understanding signed 21 March with Digicel Vanuatu Ltd, which Telecom Vanuatu Limited (TVL) will sign next week.  

Health Information Systems (HIS) are used to collect critical information about the illnesses being treated by health workers from around the country. In 2014, the Vanuatu Ministry of Health, supported by the World Health Organization, built VanPHIS2, which utilizes an open-source information system with visualization features including GIS, charts, and pivot tables, and is a system used in more than 40 countries around the world.
