SSHIA training incorporates South Sudan-specific content throughout all programmes, including:
- Case studies from South Sudan health facilities and counties
- Training on the specific health information systems used in South Sudan (DHIS2, OpenMRS, iHRIS)
- Modules on health data management in humanitarian and conflict settings
- Content on disease surveillance for conditions prevalent in South Sudan (malaria, cholera, measles, acute watery diarrhoea)
- Training on health data collection in areas with limited connectivity
- Modules on working with displaced populations and refugee health data
SSHIA trainers are South Sudanese health informatics professionals with direct experience working in the country's health system, ensuring that training is grounded in local realities.
SSHIA also collaborates with international organisations such as WHO, UNICEF, MSF, and IRC to develop training content that addresses the intersection of health informatics and humanitarian response. This ensures that SSHIA-trained professionals are equipped to work effectively in both development and emergency contexts.
