The Malawi COVID-19 Emergency Response and Health Systems Preparedness Project (MCERHSP) plays a crucial role in managing the pandemic and ensuring effective healthcare delivery. One key aspect of this project is the digitization of supervision tools, which enhances data collection, analysis, and decision-making.
The supervision tool combines elements from different domains, including disease surveillance, supply chain management, and service delivery. By digitizing this tool, we can streamline processes, improve data accuracy, and enhance overall efficiency. PHIM shall have benefit be empowered to actuate data driven decision making, for it will be able to analyze trends and patterns using aggregated data, and adjust strategies based on evidence drawn from this tool.
