This solution works offline and utilizes the tracker module and dashboard of DHIS2 which is the only government adopted platform for routine health data management in Nigeria and fast becoming the choice platform for Health Management Information System globally. This idea avoids burden of data tools multiplicity on health care workers which usually results from other parallel systems. The unique identifier assigned to each child has potential to improve evidence of immunization required during coverage surveys as against the traditionally used methods of ‘child health card’ and ‘mother’s recall’. We have robust implementation experience in public health programs with cordial working relationship with government at all levels.What is the name of your organization
