This CDC grant aims to bolster Zambia’s national health information systems (HIS) to digitize health interactions for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) and enhance the quality of care. A crucial focus is transferring skills to the Ministry of Health (MOH) and local institutions, ensuring long-term sustainability beyond epidemic control. Recipients will collaborate with the MOH and other stakeholders, aligning system refinements with national HIV/TB priorities. Support encompasses HIS maintenance, scaling electronic health records (EHR) across all provinces, maintaining the national data warehouse (NDW), and promoting systems interoperability and health information exchange (HIE). The ultimate goal is to advance the production and timely utilization of health data to effectively respond to Zambia’s national HIV/TB challenges.
