Re: Has anyone used DHIS2 for Animal Health

 

Yes,
One of the thing which is bit hard to fit in is the concept of location and
Organisation unit especially when we are talking about surveillance. But
this can also be done using option set and small script to populate the
hierarchy of the location.
again its all depend on what we want to analyze than what we want to
collect.
