A global health solution question

"...OpenMRS®, a free and open source health IT software platform built by volunteers around the world.

Since then it has grown into a global health IT solution with implementations in more than 80 countries and translations into multiple languages. Based on documented reports, OpenMRS is currently in use in 1,845 locations around the world.

Local health care providers have leveraged OpenMRS to improve medical care for over 6.3 million.

The OpenMRS community has committed to utilizing a set of metrics to measure the health of the community as well as our impact in improving healthcare around the world..."


".. . In addition to primary care, the software assists in the delivery of healthcare for patients suffering from HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, Ebola, and diabetes. It is also used to provide maternal & child care as well as chronic disease....."


A global health solution question: can ABSU Medical Alumni Association, Inc. partner and promote the implementation of OPENMRS software in Nigeria (Abia, etc)?

A call to participate and contribute to our global health mission

It's been a resounding good news, that our  US/ Canada Alumni branch was fully registered as a non-proifit business organization, to bring development to ABSUTH and also to both our global and local communities.

This is a call to all regardless of your location, to participate and contribute  to our global health mission, as we look forward to  rolling out compelling programs with seamless execution to satisfy the needs of our funders, donors and beneficiaries.

We would count on all members (faculty, staff, students, alums), friends and partners of this association to join forces in creating cutting-edge international programs and collaborations that can attract sponsorship under our US registered Alumni Organization.

The whole idea is to make our global mission scalable and robust and to tap on everyone's potential in realising our mission. Let's put it this way - the Alumni Organization is willing to conduct developmental  programs and to have these programs executed through collaboration with members (wherever you may reside, it does not matter in this day and age), friends and funding partners. It should be seen as a form of international participatory research (program). We can all actively contribute and lead in various programs of our choice, according to our quest and capacity.

Remember, we the Alumni are still up for great things!

Best Regards.
