Dear Muktar, A good one "IBM", this has been a question everywhere its implemented worse in the non health sector like eduction .... where Health in it has no relationship with the application.
Its recommended that users/implementers just treat DHIS2 as a platform and baptise the the implementation with the relevant name like Nigeria National Electronic Health Information System or eHMIS in some cases. We land into trouble we keep referring to it as DHIS2 as opposed to what information is collected, stored and analyzed. Take an example of application/systems developed using MS ACCESS but you will not hear MIS ACCESS when describing such systems. Nigeria should hold a baptism ceremony soon (:-) Regards On Thu, Feb 11, 2016 at 4:34 PM, Muktar Gadanya <gada...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear friends, > > I hope this doesn't sound too ridiculous for this forum: we had a (very > primordial) seminar on the Nigeria's HMIS, and attendees asked why the > DHIS2 acronym has the D for district, in spite of the fact that we are > using LGAs as administrative units in Nigeria.
