OpenClinic GA Open Source Hospital Information System Enabled Universal Health Coverage Monitoring and Evaluation in Burundian Hospitals.

The relevant UHC indicators were calculated on the basis of patient administrative and health insurance data, collected via OpenClinic GA, an information and communication technology (ICT) supported health management information system (HMIS).

Because responses to TB have not yet applied a sufficiently integrated approach that can improve patients' access to quality care, this FORESA project advocates a patient-centered approach.
