DHIS2 is well established in the health domain, including as a national-scale HMIS in nearly 70 countries. The global response to the COVID-19 pandemic showed how countries can leverage existing DHIS2 capacity and technology to respond to new challenges, as countries across the globe rapidly scaled their DHIS2 platforms for pandemic response. Many countries are now using this opportunity to catalyze the use of DHIS2 beyond the COVID-19 health emergency -- including establishing electronic registries for routine immunization, scaling up coverage of DHIS2 to unreached facilities, and strengthening case-based surveillance for other diseases. In addition, countries are exploring the use of DHIS2 in sectors such as education, agriculture, and more as a platform for e-governance. This session dives into country perspectives, lessons learned, local innovation and capacity strengthening from DHIS2 implementation before and during COVID-19 can be taken forward to strengthen information architecture with DHIS2, for health and beyond.
