Strengthening digital health systems requires more than technology. It requires coordination, shared standards, and strong partnerships. On 26 February 2026, partners of the LINDA-FAMILIA project in Ethiopia came together for a high-level technical meeting to move system integration plans forward.
Hosted at the Ethiopian Public Health Institute, the meeting brought together experts from the Ministry of Health Digital Health Department, the Addis Ababa Regional Health Bureau, EPHI’s National Data Management Center, HISP Ethiopia, and Pulse Tech, alongside other key partners.
Discussions focused on strengthening interoperability between Electronic Medical Records and DHIS2, improving real-time reporting, standardising metadata, and preparing for system deployment. A steering committee was established to oversee integration, with clear technical responsibilities assigned across institutions.
This meeting marks another important step toward building a more connected, data-driven maternal and child health system in Ethiopia.
