DHIS 2 is the flexible and reliable health information system

The DHIS 2 is a tool for collection, validation, analysis, and presentation of aggregate statistical data, tailored (but not limited) to integrated health information management activities. It is a generic tool rather than a pre-configured database application, with an open meta-data model and a flexible user interface that allows the user to design the contents of a specific information system without the need for programming. DHIS 2 and upwards is a modular web-based software package built with free and open source Java frameworks.

DHIS 2 is open source software and free of charge

DHIS 2 is open source software released under the BSD license and can be used at no cost. It runs on any platform with a JRE 6 installed. Simply download, unpack and run the executable file and you are good to go. The current version is 2.7. Check out the web demo or the mobile demo (login with admin/district).

DHIS 2 is developed and used on a global basis

The DHIS 2 is developed by the Health Information Systems Programme (HISP) as an open and globally distributed process with developers currently in India, Vietnam, Tanzania, Ireland, and Norway. The software is implemented at the national level in many countries in Africa and Asia, such as India, Vietnam, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Tanzania and Zanzibar.
