🎉 Huge congratulations to our colleague Simon Machera for completing his MSc in Data Science!
A vital member of the DHIS2 Lab and UDSM’s Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Simon has contributed significantly to our HMIS/DHIS2 work in Tanzania through his skills in technical support, analytics, and software development.
Simon’s MSc research focused on Tuberculosis (TB)—developing data-driven tools to improve the early detection and management of TB cases in Tanzania. His work contributes directly to digital health innovations that enhance disease surveillance, automate lab data integration, and support frontline health workers in TB tracking and follow-up.
His dedication and recent academic milestone are a perfect reflection of how data science and digital health can be combined to build stronger, more responsive health systems.
