Historique

Component 1 (DTF-mInfoSanté): Support the integration of the community level in the surveillance of epidemiological diseases and the development of the control of zoonotic diseases in the mInfoSanté scale-up in Senegal. Support the horizontal scale-up of the mInfoSanté platform and develop new features i.e integration with DHIS2 and other Health Information Systems (HRIS).

Background

mInfoSanté is a real-time data-monitoring platform, based on open-source technology RapidPro, conceived in Senegal as a tool for epidemiological surveillance. In addition, mInfoSanté allows coordination of health emergencies, supports a variety of local health-management functions (including search for ambulances) and interactions between health managers and service providers at health centre level, via two-ways communication, primarily using SMS.

Owned by the governmental Health Emergencies Operation Center (COUS), it was designed from the very beginning with service providers, thus adjusted to their needs. Currently, the platform has reached a state where it can be scaled to nationwide. However, the system needs further integration with the existing health information systems. Furthermore, integration with the OneHealth initiative added components for zoonotic diseases surveillance and introduction community level surveillance. This calls for the need to have interactive real-time monitoring platform displaying relevant information on health, resources availability and epidemiological surveillance related data.
