What is OpenMRS and how is it used in South Sudan?

OpenMRS is a collaborative open-source project that provides a robust, scalable electronic medical record system for resource-limited settings. In South Sudan, OpenMRS is deployed in selected hospitals and health centres to manage patient registration, clinical encounters, diagnoses, medications, and laboratory results. It enables health workers to access complete patient histories, reduces duplication of records, and supports continuity of care. SSHIA offers OpenMRS training for health workers, IT staff, and system administrators at facilities using or planning to implement OpenMRS.
