Linking school-based and national Covid-19 surveillance in Uganda
Building on the experience of implementing the DHIS2 electronic Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (eIDSR) system for COVID-19 surveillance in the health sector and the DHIS2 for Education system (known locally as DEMIS) in the school sector, Health Information Systems Program (HISP) Uganda and Save the Children Uganda worked in partnership with the Ministries of Health and Education to pilot the use of DHIS2 for school-based surveillance in the Wakiso and Ntungamo districts.
