Building Smarter Health Systems for HIV and Beyond

EGPAF proudly partners with Ministries of Health (MOHs) across Africa to design, develop, deploy, and maintain national health information ecosystems, to achieve strategic data use. Our approach blends our technical expertise in the delivery of health services with our capabilities in digital health, to ensure that tools and approaches serve to strengthen national data systems for the improvement of patient health services.

Our Unique Approach

EGPAF-supported EMR systems offer nation-wide coverage, clinical decision support, multi-disease and clinic/hospital-wide points-of-contact coverage, unique patient identification, data quality assurance applications, data transmission and aggregation at comprehensive central data repositories, and a one-stop-shop data analytic platform.

Clinic-wide HIS and use of EMR systems

EGPAF develops and supports clinic- and hospital-wide information systems linked to electronic medical records (EMR) that are integrated and interoperable across health programs, labs, pharmacies, and payment systems.

Interoperable Systems

EGPAF ensures integration and interoperability of systems and modules for improved patient care, and seamless exchange of information from the patient, community, and facility.

Data Lakes and Big Data

EGPAF managed Data Lakes aggregate and manage data, including collection, consolidation, processing, storage, modeling, and data visualization, enabling MOH program managers to discover useful insights to guide decision-making.

Health Informatics

EGPAF dashboards and health informatics tools help country leaders map out existing resources and gaps, to more accurately respond to client needs and to triangulate data from multiple sources to drive policy and resource allocation.

Digital Tools for Patients and Providers

EGPAF develops and adapts a wide range of SMS tools and mobile applications to help providers support patients in tracking their own healthcare, interact more seamlessly with the health system, and access information.

AI and Machine Learning

EGPAF is harnessing the power of AI and machine learning to provide improved care to the people who need it most, leveraging the vast platform of data within EMR systems and national data repositories.

Scaling HIS Infrastructure

EGPAF works closely with MOHs to train and support MOH infrastructure teams to design, deploy, and maintain all infrastructure required for National Health Information Systems.

Partnerships and Investment

EGPAF partners with a variety of technology companies that offer solutions to advance our vision for digital health use in the HIV space, and that provide value to MOHs, in keeping with their program needs.
