DHIS2 Logistics Toolkit

The availability of data is essential to ensure effect supply chain management and improving the quality of health services which it supports. The DHIS2 Logistics toolkit focuses on last-mile logistics features to support data entry, storage and analysis. They cover areas such as stock management, but also cold chain and equipment management. These can be deployed as part of the integrated HMIS solution or as a standalone. To make best use of the data, it is also recommended to link it to a central eLMIS or ERP that supports national supply chain management.

  1. Monthly Stock Reporting (MSR) - Aggregate data report configuration
  2. Real-Time Stock (RTS) - Transactional stock management tool for Android Capture
  3. Biomedical Equipment Lifecycle management (BLC) - Asset register and workflow support

Recommendations for Use

It is recommended to conduct a use case assessment to ensure that these tools are well integrated in the LMIS, and the broader HIS, landscape. Many of the advantages of using these tools are predicated on leveraging existing DHIS2 implementations, staff, infrastructure, experience and other resources that would otherwise create a greater barrier for adoption of a standalone solution. That being said, these tools alone cannot support the entirety of the supply chain management information needs for a full country and any digital system being implemented should be considered within the broader HIS context.
