Assessing the acceptability and feasibility of digitalising community health workers in Uganda

The Electronic Community Health Information System showcases significant improvements in child health outcomes and paves the way for the expansion of digital health initiatives in resource-limited environments.

In 2019, the Ministry of Health launched the community health roadmap, outlining priority needs for Uganda’s community health programme. In a significant move towards digital transformation, the Ministry of Health partnered with Malaria Consortium and Medic, a technology-focused organisation, to begin digitalising the country’s integrated community case management (iCCM) programme in 2020 through the introduction of the Electronic Community Health Information System (eCHIS), as well as the development of a stock monitoring module. This study aimed to evaluate the acceptability, feasibility and impact of the eCHIS on improving child health outcomes.
