This session explores innovation and expansion of the DHIS2 platform in various country contexts to support emergency surveillance during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many countries have used DHIS2 as a national disease surveillance system for both IDSR and case-based surveillance of VPDs and other notifiable diseases. The pandemic created sweeping demand for innovative use of DHIS2 functionality and customization in emergency settings alongside national demand for solutions to be developed & sustained within the national HIS architecture.

In Bangladesh, DHIS2 has been used to capture more than 6 million COVID-19 tests. As part of the national architecture an API connects DHIS2 with other systems and apps, enabling COVID-19 certificates and QR code generation, SMS alerts and integrated with SHUROKHA app to combine vaccination data into the system.

In Indonesia, innovative approaches have been taken to use and train users on DHIS2 for contact tracing as part of response efforts. You can find more on Syefira Salsabila's presentation on the Community of Practice here.

Finally, South Sudan shares challenges faced establishing a unified data management platform for COVID-19 response and how lessons learned during the pandemic are being used to strengthen the underlying health information system.
