– MOH DIS is developing a patient-level medical record system at MCH

– CDC support for lab information system (NetAquire) at MCH

• Health training institutions

– Support faculty development in surgery technicians courses

Areas for Potential Coordination/Synergy with MEPI (2)

• Strengthening Human Resources in HIS

– Coordination of HR development with M-OASIS

– Financing courses for Health Statistics Technicians (Técnicos Médios de Estatística Sanitária) at Maputo’s Institute for Health Sciences (ICS)

– Responding to for identified HIS needs (e.g. at Provincial level)

• Enterprise Architecture

– MOH DIS (with M-OASIS support) is in the early stages of developing an enterprise architecture for HIS in Mozambique

– Importance of inclusion of various HIS initiatives to ensure overall coordination and ultimately interoperability
