Tanzania is establishing a unified Health Situation Room (SR) where DHIS2, iMES, and GOTHOMIS systems work together to power weekly, data-driven decision reviews. The initiative aims to make routine health data more actionable, timely, and reliable for leaders at all levels.
From 8–12 September 2025 in Morogoro, national stakeholders, including PORALG, the University of Dar es Salaam’s DHIS2 Lab, GOTHOMIS teams, councils, and partners, met to design and validate the system’s foundation.
Objective: Build a decision-grade data ecosystem that delivers trusted, real-time insights for planning, performance tracking, and rapid response.
Key Achievements:
-
Agreed on priority indicators across health programs
-
Resolved ETL–DHIS2 name and UID mismatches
-
Built and validated HIV, RCH, and TB dashboards that flag anomalies early and support timely action
How It Works:
DHIS2 remains the central hub, GOTHOMIS contributes daily operational data, and iMES enables two-way data exchange, ensuring dashboards accurately reflect ground reality. Weekly SR huddles, hands-on training, and field follow-ups keep the review cycle active and impactful.
Next Steps:
Deliver the DHIS2–iMES integration, publish a unified dashboard and scorecard, streamline GOTHOMIS access, and extend the model to more councils as part of a national scale-up.
