Gov't Announces Extension as 6,427 Facilities Complete HMIS Transition

Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale said the extension will allow facilities still undertaking the transition to fully comply with the directive.

The Ministry of Health has announced an additional one-month extension for health facilities that have not yet completed the transition from the Provider Portal to the Health Management Information System (HMIS).

"The Ministry of Health wishes to update the public and all stakeholders on the progress of the transition from the Provider Portal to the Health Management Information System (HMIS), as the country moves towards a fully digital and paperless health information system," the statement read.

Duale said significant progress had been recorded across public, faith-based and private health facilities, with thousands of facilities already operating under the HMIS system.

"The transition has progressed well, with significant milestones achieved across public, faith-based, and private health facilities," the statement added.
