How can we celebrate and recognise the contributions of health informatics professionals in South Sudan?

SSHIA plays an important role in recognising the contributions of health informatics professionals through its annual awards programme, which recognises outstanding contributions in categories such as innovation, leadership, research, and community service. Nominating deserving colleagues for SSHIA awards is one way to ensure their contributions are recognised.

Sharing success stories is another powerful way to recognise contributions. When a health informatics intervention leads to improved health outcomes, documenting and sharing that story — through SSHIA publications, social media, and presentations — helps to demonstrate the value of health informatics and recognise the professionals who made it happen. SSHIA welcomes success stories from members for publication in its newsletter and website.
