What are the best resources for self-learning health informatics in South Sudan?
I am a health worker who wants to learn health informatics but cannot afford formal training. What free or low-cost resources are available for self-learning?

There are excellent free resources available online. The DHIS2 Academy (academy.dhis2.org) offers free online courses on DHIS2 at all levels. Coursera and edX have free health informatics courses from top universities (you can audit most courses for free). The OpenMRS wiki has comprehensive documentation and tutorials. The WHO eLearning platform offers free courses on health information systems, disease surveillance, and digital health.
SSHIA offers free monthly webinars for members on current health informatics topics. The SSHIA e-learning platform also has a growing library of free introductory courses. Joining the SSHIA community discussion boards is itself a form of learning — you can ask questions and learn from experienced colleagues.
