HISP is a global south-south-north collaborative network aiming to improve health care in developing countries through research on and implementation of Health Information Systems.

Coordinated by the Global Infrastructures Research Group at Department of Informatics, the network has since 1994 been involved in many countries in the "Global South".

At the core of the programme is the development of the open source DHIS software and the use of this application to strengthen country health information systems. Go to the DHIS web site for more on the software development effort. The map shows DHIS 2 sites, varying from pilot projects to nation-wide systems.
