The mTrac blog provides a window into the Ugandan health system and stories from the multi-faceted team of dedicated professionals working to change it.
A Ministry of Health initiative
for real-time monitoring of disease prevalence, medicine stock-outs and health service delivery complaints
mTrac is a government led initiative to digitize the transfer of Health Management Information System (HMIS) data via mobile phones. The initial focus of mTrac is to speed up the transfer of HMIS Weekly Surveillance Reports (covering disease outbreaks and medicines), provide a mechanism for community members to report on service delivery challenges, and empower District Health Teams by providing timely information for action.
Health Data
Each week the mTrac team will post some of the data collected from health workers and through the anonymous hotline to give a snapshot of health delivery in Uganda.
Partners
The mTrac initiative is made possible by a collaboration between the Government of Uganda, community organisations, United Nations agencies, NGOs and donors.
