Damascus, March 7 (SANA) – The Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC), in cooperation with the Norwegian Red Cross, has completed the development of a regional health information system (DHIS2) after three years of work aimed at improving medical services and supporting digital transformation in humanitarian operations.
The system is designed to collect, verify and analyze health data from clinics, dispensaries and mobile medical teams, enabling faster access to accurate information and helping medical staff deliver appropriate services to the most vulnerable groups.
According to SARC, the platform has been adapted to meet the needs of medical administration by recording beneficiary data, visits and services provided. It currently supports 13 medical programs, including physiotherapy, mental health, outpatient clinics, nutrition, community health, first aid, disability inclusion and prosthetics services.
The system will initially be implemented as a pilot project before being expanded to cover all medical facilities and service points operated by the Syrian Arab Red Crescent.
Omar Maleki, Director of SARC’s Communication and Media Unit, told SANA that the project is part of the organization’s broader strategy to digitize its operations, improve institutional performance and enhance the efficiency of humanitarian response.
He added that reliable and accurate data plays a key role in improving resource management and ensuring that humanitarian and medical assistance reaches those most in need in a timely manner.
The initiative forms part of ongoing efforts by the Syrian Arab Red Crescent to modernize its technical infrastructure and strengthen its capacity to deliver transparent and efficient humanitarian services in line with international data management practices.
