Dear Luis, Thanks for your feedback. I really agreed with you.
I am currently planning to draft a report to Federal Ministry of Health through the Primary Health Care Development Agency on the use of GNUHealth as a HMIS flatform for the over 34,000 Primary Health Care facilities in Nigeria. I will make recommendation for the creation of local team members at national level on the use of HMIS. I hope the Ministry will consider it, and by the time I finish the report, I hope the GNUHealth Android apps will be ready to meet some of their requirements.

The key for sustainable implementations is local capacity. Documentation is important, but even more important is having a local team in the country / region that walks along each stage of the implementation in the centers where is installed. The reason GNU Health is a success in countries like Cameroon is because we have local team members that know the system and know the culture. They just don't install GNU Health and leave, but they're are part of the project. They have build a local community and many implementations for more than 7 years. > > I believed this is a step for making gnuhealth go higher. Thank you! We're excited to have this new model for documentation, that complements the Wikibook and will reach even further! All the best Luis PS. Cleaned up a bit the subject due to original crossposting.
