Hi all,

The annual DHIS 2 Symposium will be held on *March 22nd and 23rd*, 2018 at
the *FHI 360 Conference Center* in Washington, D.C.

The global digital health space is moving at a rapid pace, making
exponential gains within the last few years. After less than 10 years of
development, DHIS 2 is being implemented in more than 60 countries, with
almost 30 operating at national scale. This rapid global expansion of DHIS
2 has led to exciting collaborations and partnerships targeted at improving
LMIC health systems.

In the 4th DHIS 2 Symposium we’ll look at how international partnerships
between NGOs and governments are supporting national system strengthening,
ultimately improving the use of DHIS 2 and bringing us closer to
harmonization of data.

Android mobile applications will be examined and we will hear from the
University of Oslo about efforts to overhaul and re-develop the
applications. Biometrics are making concrete gains in development work and
we’ll hear how it can be incorporated into DHIS 2.

Other topics to be explored include:

- What work is being done around DHIS 2 for the Sustainable Development
Goals and how that work can be moved forward.

- How data is used in concrete ways to drive decision-making,
course-correction and improve impact of your programs.

- How integration with other systems like LMIS and EMRs improve national
systems.
