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 "Kibanda" - the Swahili word for a makeshift shelter - is where life happens in communities that face barriers to access good healthcare.

BH Team

Health IT has huge potential to enable access to good healthcare in the midst of poverty, and the need is urgent. Banda Health’s “big hairy audacious goal” (BHAG) is to develop and implement comprehensive IT solutions for medical 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 slums, informal settlements and remote rural areas, so they can provide good healthcare out of scarcity.
