Jamaica Adopts GNU Health

Posted on October 29, 2013 by Robert Pogson

FLOSS is the right way to do IT. The first country to adopt GNU Health IT system is Jamaica who definitely needs to create, find, modify and present health-related information as efficiently as possible.
“GNU Health is a Free Health and Hospital Information System that provides the following functionality:

  • Health Information System (Demographics, Epidemiology)
  • Hospital Information System
  • Electronic Medical Record

“

see Jamaica Ministry of Health adopts GNU Health.
