The OGOW EMR Medical Record Pilot
Digital health records for Somalia
Even before COVID-19 struck, nearly 3.2 million Somali's lacked access to health services. The need for health systems that protect everyone has never been more urgent. The SomRIL brokered a pilot between OGOW EMR and World Vision Somalia to utilize innovation to support rural and urban health facilities with medical records, health promotion, and immunization uptake. Providing needed information to providers and caregivers Somalis is benefited and empowered, especially women and girls, to access community health and primary care services. This collaboration is critical to providing life-saving information to providers and caregivers to make informed decisions.
