Banda Health at a glance

Banda health started as the SIM OpenHMIS
(health management information system)
Project in 2012 with a group of volunteers.

Our team of programmers work out of Nairobi, Kenya

We officially became a US 
501(c)(3) non-profit in 2016

Why "Banda Health"? Because bandas - Swahili for makeshift shelters - are where life happens in communities that don't have access to good healthcare.

BH Team

Health IT has huge potential to enable good healthcare in the midst of poverty, and the need is urgent. Banda Health’s “big picture” dream is to develop and implement comprehensive IT systems for  clinics and health centers that are both affordable and extremely robust.

For now our main focus is on the business software needed by small clinics at the frontlines of healthcare in some of the toughest situations, so they can provide good healthcare out of scarcity.
