Introduction to Health Information System (WHO)

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines a Health Information System (HIS) as a system that collects, analyzes, and uses health data to support decision-making and improve health outcomes. It plays a vital role in monitoring public health, managing healthcare services, and guiding policy development. WHO supports countries in strengthening their HIS by providing standards, tools, and technical guidance to ensure reliable, timely, and accessible health information. A strong HIS, as promoted by WHO, is essential for achieving universal health coverage and effective health system management.
