DHIS2 Tracker is a free, open-source health management data platform developed by DHIS2 and Resolve to Save Lives that program managers can use to monitor large-scale non-communicable disease (NCD) programs. The new version 2.0 integrates hypertension and diabetes care and is optimized for use in busy primary care facilities that manage thousands of patients. DHIS2 is quick and simple enough to record individual patient data during clinical care and records only the data you need to treat patients effectively and monitor outcomes. Not only is DHIS2 a practical, sustainable, ready-to-use solution, but it’s cost-effective and easy-to-train, too.
Over 70 countries rely on DHIS2 to manage health programs for TB, malaria, Covid-19, MCH, vaccinations, and more, and Nigeria now uses it to manage their large-scale NCD program. Your country can be next.
This factsheet offers key features and a use-case from Nigeria.
