Through The Use Of Digital Applications, The Goe Has Committed To Improving (I) Quality Of Data Collected And Utilized And (Ii) Quality Of Service Delivery And Demand For Rmncah, Nutrition And Ncd Services. For Example, The Moh Is In The Process Of Migrating From A Paper Based To A Digital Data Collection System And Is Implementing A Real Time Client-Based Health Information System At Health Facility Level Known As The Client Management Information System (Cmis). However, It Is Available In Less Than Half Of Facilities (48%) And Does Not Inadequately Cover All Health Conditions. Also, Data Utilization For Evidence-Based Decision Making And System Maintenance (Including Hardware, Software, Warehousing) Is Sub-Optimal Due In Part To Limited Capacity (E.G., Limited Human Resources, Training, Etc). Likewise, The Use Of Digital Health Interventions[1] Like Mom-Connect Can Improve Provision And/Or Utilization Of Essential Services And Their Quality, But They Have Not Been Used Extensively In Eswatini.

For Example, The Moh Will Need The Services Of A Firm Who Will Technically Design The Content Of These Digital Applications. This Assignment Will Require The Firm To Also Engage The Ministry Of Information, Communication And Technology (Moict) As They Provide Overall It Related Support In Its Implementation Such As Protection And National Information Repository (Data Warehouse)
