DHIS2 is an open source, web-based platform most commonly used as a health management information system (HMIS), but that is usable in any sector due to its flexible and customizable design and powerful, user-friendly software features.

Today, DHIS2 is the world’s largest HMIS platform, in use by 80 low and middle-income countries, making it the government-wide system of record for health data in these countries. Approximately 3.2 billion people live in countries where DHIS2 is used. Including NGO-based programs, DHIS2 is in use in more than 100 countries.

DHIS2 software development is a global collaboration managed by the HISP Centre at the University of Oslo (UiO). HISP is a global network comprised of 23 local HISP groups that provide day-in, day-out direct support to government partners and local implementers of DHIS2.
