23 July 2018, Tripoli – The Health Information Centre, Ministry of Health, in partnership with WHO, UNICEF and Interantional Organization for Migration (IOM) started a series of capacity-building workshops for implementation of the district health information system (DHIS2).

The first workshop from 21 to 26 July focuses on building capacity-building of a core team, in the premises of the Health Information Centre in Tripoli. The workshop is being attended by 25 core team members from different parts of the country and is facilitated by the Health Information System Programme of India. 

The DHIS2 is a web-based open-source health information management system capturing aggregated data (e.g. routine health facility data, staffing, equipment, infrastructure, population estimates), and event data (disease outbreaks, survey/audit data, patient satisfaction surveys, longitudinal patient records etc.). It improves the quality of data and facilitates the use of analytics by decision-makers through tailored dashboards, charts, pivot tables and maps and enables the focus of resources where they are most needed.

The Ministry of Health, Libya, and all the partners (WHO, UNICEF and IOM) sincerely appreciate the generous support of the European Union in supporting Libya in modernizing and strengthening the health information system. The proper use of generated information will support programme managers, district health officers, health sector partners, donors and all the stakeholders related to health in evidence-based planning which will improve the health service delivery benefitting the ailing population of Libya.
